Hi,

Data type checking at compile time seems the way to go. Makes things a hell
of a lot easier for the programmer.

A prefer the TADS style of flexibility with standard libraries. I think that
TADS 2.1 modify/replace ability is really great!

The Alan approuch is far too limiting. With the TADS style libraries you can
see what is going on.
