No you just write the first and don't stuff strings into that column. 
It's your choice after all.

The same as with static types!?  Where's the problem?

table_a:

id    name
----- ----------
42    bob
'foo' methusalem
'42'  gaylord

table_b:

id    age
----- ------
42    23
'foo' 1000
0.5   None

Join on `id`:

id    name       age
----- ---------- ----
42    bob        23
'foo' methusalem 1000
