Assuming we use some integer representation, given two labels represented by n and n+1, we can't add a label between them without rewriting the tables that use the type, whether it's my representation scheme or some other. Maybe we could have a FORCE option which would rewrite if necessary.

People would likely always use it.

Why not use a decimal number?
