I'm not sure what you mean by that. Are you referring to something similar 
to Java's distinction between native/unboxed types versus objects and boxed 
values?

Apart from the possible efficiency gains, what benefit do you see from 
distinguishing between "values which are objects" versus "values which are 
not objects"?
