Hi Micha=C5=82,

A type check during the assignment is the intent of the proposal. I'll
update the description to state this more explicit.

As i wrote in the initial mail the implementation side is the one which
is currently mostly unclear to me. To see which parts of the language
would be affected by the change. I think if it's implemented in a
central way each assignment could be affected by a type check. But as
Nicolas stated that should be kept in a separate RFC if that's something
we want to tackle further.

Cheers, Enno
