To be clear: I do not think we should do this, because the
interpretation of those entities would themselves be domain-specific
-- if client code is written to expect a unit id and ends up suddenly
seeing a volume id, the *best* case is that it fails -- the worst is
that it keeps on running with bad data and smearing the effects of the
bug further through the system with arbitrary further fallout.

+100 to domain-specific errors.
