I was hoping I'd get 'string' for the type...
you can not get string if the variable is defined with mixed:
mapping(string:mixed) map = ([]);
if you define it as mapping(string:string) map = ([]); then typeof() would give you string as a result.
Now that I've thought it over a bit more: there's no need to know the type of a NULL object in order to deserialize.
well, you need the type of a variable in order to recreate the variable with the same type.
