I like this RFC overall. Precise parameter checks is good for security
always.
I would like to have DbC to harden app security as well.
I'm looking for something like D language.
http://dlang.org/contracts.html
With DbC, checking parameter types/range/etc happen only when development.
Therefore, app runs faster for production. All of runtime checks cannot be
removed
from app code by DbC, so this RFC is nice to have even with DbC.
