Monte Carlo data and duality arguments, applied to a lattice model, are presented which indicate that a three-dimensional type-II superconductor should have a transition asymptotically equivalent to that of a superfluid with reversed temperature axis, and not a first-order transition. Results may apply to the nematic---smectic-A transition.
