Re: What are literals?

Actually it kind of follows from the MT that simple literals must be 
resources, since
1. they denote themselves, and
2. anything that is denoted must be a resource.

Typed literals are another kettle of fish, of course.

There shouldnt be. Anything that can be in a class must be a resource.
