asterisk users - Dec 2008 - why does users.conf generate SIP peer and SIP user?

Hi!

I wonder why users.conf generates a SIP user and a SIP peer? Why is it 
not possible to set type=... in users.conf? (Asterisk 1.4.22)

thanks
klaus

users.conf is a hack to generate a "typical" Asterisk configuration
easily.

So I figure that patches are welcomed. Assuming that the "type"
won't
have any strange ill-effects on any other module that parses that file:

A quick grep in trunk gives:

  apps/app_directory.c
  apps/app_voicemail.c
  channels/chan_agent.c
  channels/chan_dahdi.c
  channels/chan_h323.c
  channels/chan_iax2.c
  channels/chan_sip.c
  main/manager.c
  pbx/pbx_config.c
  res/res_phoneprov.c
