Nonononono! Please not!!!!!!

I realize more and more, that every type checking is a great potential
danger to corrupt or even destroy a clear OO design!!!

I am currently learning and using C++. Learning means here, upgrade my
knowledge from C++ 1.2 -> ANSI C++. The same time I am learning and
playing a little bit with Objective C. Although C++ is more mightier
than ObjC, but it let struggle me all the time, because of its damned
type checking.

With all the nice features of C++, I am currently solving problems, I
would not have with Ruby or ObjC..... :-(

So please don't propagate type checking too much. Gimme freedom! :-)
If I really want to put another object than a string into FTP#list,
please let me do it. If my object reacts properly, ok! If not, my
fault!!! :-))))

BTW: I don't think, the error message was not clear enough!!!
