Thanks, I was unaware of that page. I designed mine allow for
introspection, so the program can explicitly "see" what types a
function takes and test argument combinations if need be, which that
example doesn't seem to allow. Mine also supports multiple types per
argument. However, I like how that one also checks the return value.
