It's not a style, it's the absence of one.
def add2list(lst, elem):
lst.extend([elem, elem])
return lst
I did all the type checking I needed to there; none whatsoever. If
passed a list, or something that behaves like one, that does the
expected thing.
If passed an ExtensionLadder, it probably does the wrong thing, but that
is no way my problem.
