I found out for myself that pragmas don't work in Hilfe - but
thanks for confirming it and for the alternate option. I'll give it
a try.
I work with emacs most of the time, so I'm trying to figure out a
slick workflow to learn with. Doing the learning code in Hilfe is
great, but if it's limited than it might cause more confusion which
I don't need.
Thanks agian ..

Pragmas don't directly work in Hilfe, but you can use this directive
to enable strict_types:
> set warnings strict
Unfortunately, the version of Pike I'm using (a trunk build of 8.1.14)
has a lot of spurious warnings from strict_types, so I tend not to use
it. But if it works for you, then go for it.

Do you mean that the #pragma can be used in Hilfe as well as
scripts? Or just in scripts?

It doesn't work in Hilfe, but "#pragma strict_types" will flag a
script as wanting more stringent type checking, and will flag
assignments like that.
