I read the proposal.  It's huge modify, which potentially affect
Ruby's character very much.  I know "interface contract" (using your
new term) is a good thing, putting aside the syntax in the example I
don't like.  But *I* have to consider its trade-off.

What we gain and what we lose?  Selling point?  I don't care.
Better diagnosis?  It's good, but worth this big change?
I don't know yet.
