I don't either. But I don't like the user to do it either, it's something that is a part of the language definition. I completely agree with both Robert and Leigh. I liked the v0.1 one, but v0.2 is DOA from my point of view. Arguably, from my POV, it's the one option that's even worse than having strict typing exclusively.
