Adding static typing to Python

[Chris Gonnerman]

Ultimately, adding static typing to Python results in a different
language; it's not Python anymore.

If you don't like Python because the typing isn't strong, use Ada,
or C++, or Pascal... and leave Python for those of us who have 
discovered that a simple, semantically pure language that "just
works" solves a lot more problems than overengineered compilers.
