Thanks for clearing this up.

From your other comments, I assume you agree that arbitrarily picking one of
the valid types isn't the best possible outcome. ;-} It's more a consequence
of an API that is limited to returning a single type name.

Seems like the API would be more useful, better suited to regular models and
more universally applicable if it returned a set of validated types.
