It would allow for clearer code and better error checking, for instance:

sequence a
a = {}

add_days(a, 100)

That would fail w/meaningful information. I do not think it does anything for
optimization, if anything, it would slow things down due to type checking? Do I
understand that correctly? However, in your production code you can add without
type_check.

Input?

P.S. Maybe we should get on irc.freenode.org#euphoria! We are using the EUforum
for instant(like) chat!
