I know what you mean.  But it's not good strategy to persuade me to
use "your expectation" or "your surprise".  This "limitation" has a
lot of good aspects, such as better performance, better error
detection, etc.  I'd love to pay the cost of small restriction for
these benefits as a language designer.

OK, I think this is enough.  Let us focus on solving "your problem".
