The schema types are builtin... very special.  One main reason is that
they cannot be implemented via the schema schema (chicken'n egg problem)

There is a good case for supporting it... maybe start with a correct
error message.  It is not too easy: these basic elements need all kinds
of conversions and facets.

Typemaps in XML::Compile are rarely used, so little evolved at the moment.
Most small things are solved via hooks.  When I developed typemaps,
I had large complex types in mind.  Type like "Person"  or  "DB-config".
