Logic error: False analogy.

But as for the different operators, true, I believe, as long as we aren't
introducing strong typing, or traditional typing in the $%@& sense. This
addresses clarity without imposing verbosity. Add verbosity and there's no
reason not to migrate to C# or Java. But then, none of this has been
proposed so far except in the form of questions and concerns.
