While some are ok (builtin_type_ieee...*) many are not (typically needing a conversion to builtin_type()). For the moment we can let these remaining uses be migrated incrementally (chance has it someone will find an interface change (1)). However, eventually, well have to change all remaining references. Given their magnitude, this suggests a "Flag Day". Andrew (1) I wonder if the way languages create their primitive type vector can be simplified - I implemented a mindless vector->vector conversion.
