rmgw said "Unfortuantely, I've found that it is more than "syntactic-saccharine". One of the things that drove me nuts when I was working with Windoze was that no one had any idea how big an index was supposed to be. This caused me more tahn one serious problem with overflow when 16 bit ints were used instead of longs by people who weren't thinking." That of course is something that is clearly a defect of the language, since this confusion is a static typing error in any well typed language. Furthermore the overflows should be cleanly caught.
