I think everyone wants their favourite to be default. I was eager to have the typing that's currently in the manual be the default, since that's what people are used to seeing. I suggested that strong type checks use +int exactly because that's different to what's in the manual, so there would be no confusion. I'm really looking to get people to agree to the principle that we would like to be able to hint every signature without large changes to the manual, since we've been looking at it for years.
