Again, I still don't understand why we really need this type checking stuff. It seems to me that since we are adding type checking that will be done at runtime anyway the whole thing is a bit of a moot point. I may be missing something critical here but AFAIK the BDFL is not considering modifying the compiler/interpreter to handle type-safety. Why not just have a library with decorators that allows you to do type checking?
I've hacked together a strawman typechecking decorator that I would appreciate comments and flames on. I'm just trying to get a grip on what the issue with keeping the language small and consistent is.
