This could actually be fixed without exceptions (make type hint error skip the function call?), but they’re a nicer way to do it (possibly simpler within the engine?). > 2- Lack of numeric scalar type > There're others, but these ones are keys to make them fully usable. A number (or numeric, or num, or some other name) type hint is something I plan to propose in a future, follow-up RFC. Thanks. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
