Questions on Arc's type system

Why are exceptions disjoint from all other types rather than just being strings (or even arbitrary objects)? Also, currently strings are disjoint from lists; are they going to stay this way? I thought the plan was for strings to be lists of characters.

From arc.arc:

   1475 ; Lower priority ideas
   [...]
   1490 ; idea: get rid of strings and just use symbols
   1491 ; could a string be (#\a #\b . "") ?
