I don't think that's any improvement.  It doesn't help modularity
at all, since we still have "Scheme" hardwired where we wouldn't.

What I think we need to do is move string2Type and getNamedType
up into Language or LispLanguage.  I'm guessing that is your intent,
but I don't think this intermediate step has any use - it just
means that everything has to be changed twice, without any
benefit that I can see.
