I think that sort of thing works better in a statically-typed
language, because anything you pass to a library needs to be
of a data type defined by that library, or at least known to
the library, so both the library and the caller are aware
of the indexing scheme being used.

With duck-typing, on the other hand, it just seems like a
recipe for confusion.
