Understood.  I completely misunderstood the purpose of COMMUTATOR.  I
thought that it was telling the system that the procedure could be
called with the arguments reversed if it could not find a specific
procedure.  I see now what it is for.

So I have my type working now but I had to create a new C function
that take the opposite argument order.  Seems redundant but I could
not see a better way.
