I agree that we should use unified terminology, and I propose that terminology not to be "hinting" but "parameter typing" or "typed parameters", etc. We may add a note somewhere that it also was referred as "type hinting", for the benefit of people who heard that term, but not use it in all docs. If it's OK, I can fix the docs, shouldn't be too much problem. I just don't want to do it without consensus on the matter. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
