Actually, in terms of weak typing we are now at 4 supporters of the general idea: Paul B., Lukas, Zeev, Christian S. Still a minority compared to the +1 votes for Ilia's strict typing proposal. Though it could be argued that a fair number only voted for the expansion of type hinting to scalar datatypes and did not really look into the entire strict vs. weak hinting stuff. regards Lukas Kahwe Smith mls@pooteeweet.org
