this seems more appropriate to me. The proc could be seen as a "dynamic
converter" between the int and the char*. So instead of doing:

set d [Disk "ad0"]
d type_text

you would do:

type_text [d type]

(right?)

[same with the "subtype" field]

This would cut down on the number of *_text* proc needed, and
consequently cleanup the interface.

This would also make type_text global (?) and it would therefore be
available outside the object (no?).

Please remember that I'm new to the mighty H and that I do not clearly
understand the relations between the C and TCL api... Ring if I'm
talking nonsense. :)
