Oooops. When did I ever say that I dislike strict typing? You should 
know me.

I guess you refer to me saying that I want InputForm reflecting input 
expressions (without types or rather like what you see in .ap files) and 
that I rather like *another* type that reflects the expression together 
with *full* type information.
