Yeah, it's interesting to speculate about what we'd have to do to
allow extensions to invent new kinds of container types. Right now,
the knowledge of what kinds of containers there are is wired into
a bunch of places. This fix isn't adding any new places, just fixing
some places whose knowledge was incomplete. So I'm content with this
for today.

Thanks for reviewing; I pushed v1-0001 after a bit more
comment-smithing.

Let me rephrase that: 0002 is a new feature and hence out of scope
at this point in the development cycle. If you want to start a
new thread proposing that for v20, go right ahead.
