You're "hacking" it either way. This one function is not going to cause
coder confusion. You're leaving the type off so you can pass any type.
Considering you type everything else, it's pretty obvious to anyone who
looks at it what's going on.
Adding extra lines of code that put a parameter into an object is possibly
MORE confusing than leaving off a type which the next line shows exactly
why (if param instanceof).
AS3 has *, AS2 has blank. I think it's hacky to add more lines of code
versus what I don't think is hacky which is leaving off a type in AS2.
That's HOW you accept any type of param in AS2.
That's a fair point. It's more the principle of the thing - it was
frustrating not to be *able* to make it strict. But yes, leaving off the
:Object would be a better solution.
