*keeping* input types would still let your example fail, sin

My view: since this was revealed to my as a problem by a professor in
my university, who had problems runnning in class something like this:
for i in range(10):
print cos(i).n()
i think that the result should be, at least, something that has
the .n() procedure implemented. That is: Integer se

Consistent doesn't mean constant. Functions like "sin" are generic
functions that dispatch on input type:
sin(1.2) should return a float, not a symbolic expression (that would
be un
