Could you please give a little more detailed example?
For now, I can't see how that could cause any trouble. Since there's
no "function oveloading" in python, all the places where it is used ==
all the places it is referred to (by name), so any simple search would
work.
Function name is not unique in whole program. Think about read\write
and other short and many time used names.
Changing the prototype of your argument/return type, you either break
the semantics - in which case you will have to find and modify ALL
occurences,
Right and I don't argue about that. All I said is that compiler can
help you to find such places.
