Can you provide a sample code so we understand what you are

but I may be wrong.
The UserID example is a good one. You need to cast a couple of
times when doing I/O, then passing user IDs around is nice
because no other integers can be passed instead.

I understand the benefit of that, but how does that require
language support ?
