Well, I have read it all, and I still don't like it.

Making it easier to maintain software is fine, but the type *is* no
problem. You can find that kind of info with a good class browser of
some kind. 

I've been looking at a few lines of code, and when I have found an
unknown object, I've always wanted to find the definition of a class.
I've been screaming my head off for sources, but I've never cared if
something is an int or a double.
