Ofcourse you have languages that mix the two. But as a
programmer I don't _care_ about how you achieve it,
and hence I don't think that it should impact syntax.
The two _should_ be separate. If you want to do
compile-time stuff to maintain type safety, go right
ahead, but I don't see any reason why I should have to
concern myself with this distinction.
