That's something entirely different. The Finder application has an
object hierarchy with "item" just under "application". Most of the
other objects are dependents of "item" and inherit its characteristics.
All of item's dependents are also items as well as being their more
"refined" object types. "Item" is precisely defined for Finder, but I
don't find any definition for it in AppleScript except as an element of
objects of the list class.
