I wonder whether Python people will revert to witch-typing, since it 
lends itself so nicely to comparision with duck-typing. ;P

Not to mention varieties of other old classics:
- "What kind of typing does your program use?"
- "Witch typing."
- "Gah, you grammar nazi. Ok, WHICH kind of typing does it use?"
- "Witch typing."
- "I'm asking YOU! Which typing!?!?"
- "Yes, witch typing."
- *cue Homer Simpson mode* "Why you little..."
- *choke, gargle*
