I'd tend to agree. The key word, of course, is _easily_, which doesn't rule out
the exercise of polymorphism in C.

I drag a small bulk of reusable C code from environment to environtment: a list
module, extendible hashing and so on. These I can use to store objects of any
data type.

If I wanted run-time typing, I'd assign integral type codes (symbolically named
after the types) to all data structures, and push these around explicitly.
