Maybe it should be a FREQ to add a tag specifically for 
determining bonus stacking, rather than having it rolled 
into the TYPE, and not necessarily acting the same on 
all types. Something like STACK= REPLACE | STACK (like 
what is already described in the docs), or maybe 
something as simple as STACK= YES | NO.

This Tracker item was closed automatically by the system. It was
previously set to a Pending status, and the original submitter
did not respond within 14 days (the time period specified by
the administrator of this Tracker).

Agreed.

That is why I had us along a path of TYPE.<whatever> for 
reference, and TYPE=<whatever> for assigning...

I know Eric doesn't like it, but I have noticed since we 
started going that way that the confusion has largely gone 
away.  This is the first time in a long while that the confusion 
has come up.

I had followed this thread and I must say that there was some confusion 
about what type was under discusion, TYPEed bonuses or TYPEs in 
objects.

TYPEs at the ned of bonuses control stacking, and do it with no problems. 
We don't want to fix something that isn't broken.
