So, most don't support custom types unless you...use the mechanism they have for defining a custom type?

That seems a very elaborate way to say “No" when the answer is really “Yes”.

It's a succint way to say "No, not types that will automatically work as primitive types (which normally the variable passed for 0 to 1 would be), and that will work with numeric operators".

Or in other words, a succint way to say "Technically yes, but practically useless, so no".
