I dont want Static typing as it exists in Java or C or whatever other
statically type langue that exists. I think of what I am trying to
accomplish as an easier way of having syntax for type checking that
does not involve having to do isinstance or hasattr checks in every
place you want to validate the type. You just set the type using a
decorator style syntax and the type checking is done automatically for
you, which will reduce code repetition, especially in getter/setter
methods of properties.
