There are basically two choices when one has to show more than one kind of thing in the dictionary

import integer -- oh, by the way you can also import string

import anything -- as long as it's integer or string

Actually, there's nothing stopping applications from inventing types with names like "integer or string". In fact, there are already a few terms like this in the standard terminology, like "number or string", "list or record", and "number, date or text".

The type is really just there for documentation purposes. AppleScript doesn't really do anything with that information (AFAAIA).
