Yes, I agree that the stricter type checking is generally considered a
'good thing' from a computer science perspective, and I mostly agree with
that.  However, it's probably more of an emotional issue for me--just 
something that I like--and I'm not ready to give it up just yet.

It might make sense to tie it into with/without type_check or something.
But I want to be able to use the syntactic sugar, just without all of
the constraints that you've proposed.
