Sorry. Generally, when I hear people complain about the lack of "types" in a dynamic language, I'm pretty sure what they mean is [static] "classes", so that "intellisense" (auto-complete, for non-MS/VS-bubble-land) works.

(Or hilarity, if I get to stand back while somebody else has to support the monster) YMMV.
