PS: In order to satisfy the Python group (among others not on the cross-
post list), we'd need to include "duck typing," which fits neither of 
the two definitions above.  We'd probably need to modify the definition 
of dynamic type systems, since most source tend to classify it as a 
dynamic type system.  It's getting rather late, though, and I don't 
intend to think about how to do that.
