Hmmm...
Aspects are for separating out orthogonal concerns; type-checking,
although not exactly integral to most code, can't be cleanly
separated from it either, since type declarations are best kept with the
types.  I can imagine an aspect that took a naming convention, like
foo(aString), and wove in code to enforce the implicit types, but I don't
think it would be that useful unless that naming convention were followed
quite strictly.
