              Return the textual type of the object.

       Payload:prev()
              Return the previous object.

       Payload:cast()
              Cast the object to the underlining object module and return it.

       Payload:uncast()
              Cast the object to the generic object module and return it.

       Payload:copy()
              Make a copy of the object and return it.
