I am hoping reasoning is in a non-print application the type of the captured value will be compile time checked elsewhere. But if the language is willing to cast both ways between int and string then there is no safety (no idea if it does do that). Also I do agree with your points (explicit and implied) I don't see "hey free parsing" as a big enough advantage to infect the language with these sort of implicit conversions.
