Possibly, sorry for having ignored the patch at the time

I would prefer 1, to avoid division by 0

better, I'll take this is with TypeNone = 1

I think it will be used during serialization implementation

Possibly, I wanted this explicit because of the above assignements to
the correct field. I'll check if I need this.

Yeah, default catches all the remaning cases but hides issues when we
miss adding a value. I'll change.

I thought so, but in the end I only added one
