​The main intuition is that we Python programmers *do* know the types of
the arguments to our functions and methods. In general, it is my firm
opinion that we couldn't program without this knowledge.

The stub files back up this assertion, imo, but they also show just how
many vars are being passed around.​

​I often split a complex function into pieces, namely helper methods.  I'll
pass whatever is needed into those helpers. Those arguments clearly must
have an intended type, but I quickly forget all about the helpers and their
arguments. So the proper workings of helpers depend on "minor" arguments.
Otoh, c, g and p mean specific things in Leo's core.
