Sorry, Len, but I think this thread ceased making sense to me about 3 of
your posts ago.  Ducks?  (I know of "duck typing" as an argument *in
favor* of dynamicism, and Google corroborates that impression), Beats?
Markov?

Whatever.  I'm done with this unproductive thread.  I suspect that as
Vladimir points out, a bunch of Java programmers and a Python programmer
are never likely to agree on the topic of typing.  Heck, back in my many
days as a C++ programmer I would have disagreed with post-1996 Uche.

If someone starts actually discussing code or angle brackets again,
maybe I'll regain some interest, but for now, I have code *and* angle
brackets to write (tons of 'em).  In my case, real work *is* more fun.
