Comment (by jfw):
I see how that would be a pain. Here's an idea--feel free to shoot it
down. What about coercing the second argument to be the same type as the
first? Presumably (and I know there would be cases where this presumption
is wrong,) the first type *should* be the "right" type for the situation--
it's most likely coming from the context, and therefore probably won't be
a string (unless that's the intent.) Something like this:
{{{
def add(value, arg):
try:
return value + type(value)(arg)
except ValueError:
return int(value) + int(arg)
}}}
Thoughts?
