It does add something. I still think that int/float/bool/... as you had earlier
was a better idea, however it all got a bit heated and people were probably
thinking emotionally rather than logically. There does seem to be a lot
of support for the idea. Now that calm is restored, maybe we should as Sam to
put his final proposal to this list, with examples & the arguments for/against.
We could then look at it carefully and evaluate his idea.
