I think their response would be conjecture. Besides, if we do any of these
things we have to do it without changing the VM.

One of the advantages of AS is that it is forgiving. You can turn off
strict mode and hack away and crank out an app in a very short time. Every
once in a while I try to do that in C or Java and spend lots of time fixing
up type errors. I think that is a great benefit to folks looking to write
simple apps and quickly get them up and running. I don't think we want to
lose that.
