Subject: Re: Type checking function parameters

Along the lines of this thread..

I'm rough around the edges, so I'll just use some general language.

I have a habit of building my code like bunches of little black boxes.
Each box accepts a certain kind of input and returns a certain kind
of output.

For each of the boxes, I create a sort of gateway that ensures that a
box only receives its expected input, and it intelligently reports an
error if that's not the case.

Should I be loosening my grip and removing some or perhaps all of
those gateways, just like the explanations for duck typing?
