Match types to values
Sort values into their family bucket
Sort each value into the bucket whose type-stamp it matches.

Each value belongs to a family. The type stamp on a box says which family is allowed inside.
You just did by hand what programming languages do automatically — checking that the kind of value matches the kind of box.
