Dear group

there was a recent thread about "Boolean" and it braught me to my favorit
thing I would love to have in Ruby2.

*typed parameters*

My code is completely filled with things like this:

 def never_saw_a_better_method( clever, smart, stupid )
            assert_type clever, String
           assert_type  smart, Hash
          assert_type  stuoid, Boolean
....
def cool( clever : String, smart : Hash, stupid : Boolean )

and of course
def x(y)  would be equivalent to def(x : Object )

There is no other than practical reason to that, I found that this kind of
type assertion finds the most devious bugs in my code.

Thaughts?

Robert
