Suggestion for Syntax Sugar:
Would it make sense to permit a simple way to allow a coder to document the
function argument type?
f <- function( a:chr, b:data.frame, c:logi ) { … }
presumably, what comes behind the ‘:’ should match what ‘str’ returns.
however, this need not be checked (except perhaps when a particular option is
set). catching errors as soon as possible makes code easier to debug and error
messages clearer.
