Yep, that's what I suggested but Leigh did see a competitive advantage for
weak-type hints in any case because if strict won we would have weak hints
too if I didn't use the declare option. I can see that point even though it
was not made at all with the intention of favouring weak vs strict, I
really don't care much, I just want them (whichever flavour) for the future
JIT/AOP goodies that we may have.

So yeah, I am again suggesting the same as Dennis! :)
