Hi Ilia,
Your patch doesn't support a "null" (or maybe it should be called
"unset") type check. Its uses would be rare, but I think it should be
present for completeness.
Thanks,

Good point, this way API could remain the same.

It would be a little bit messy, but I'm fairly confident it could be
made work.
Unless the particular module would interpret everything that has
non-zero arra

Hi,
Last evening I put together a quick proposal for a weak and strict
checking approach, since I felt that things were being concluded a bit
prematurely. More importantly I detailed the issues I see with a pure

I am publishing it a bit prematurely imho
