Comment (by cypherpunks):

 This ticket seems to be trying to test whether two data types are actually
 the same. IMO this is the wrong approach to reach the goal of replacing
 the data type of some buffers.

 Instead the code should be designed and changed around the new data type
 and not simply swap data types after verifying they're the same.
