Looking at the code, how can you manage to feed it with something so that it returns "lvalue", "zero", "void", or "mapping_data"?

If it works the same as sprintf("%t"...) then it will call the _sprintf lfun instead of giving the true basic type for objects. Since most _sprintf's returns a %O-like string regardless of the flag, it doesn't quite fulfill this purpose. This can probably be debated, but I think it'd be more useful if basetype() wasn't possible to fool with _sprintf.
