Re: What bindings in general need is:

That's not unlike what soft-typing languages do. In those languages (Common Lisp, many Schemes, Dylan), a type declaration is an optional constraint. If you put it in, it can help the compiler optimize the code, and check for errors. If you leave t out, you can still use full dynamicity. The usual development style with such languages is you write your "prototype" in a fully-dynamic, general manner, and then gradually convert that into your production code by adding declarations, refactoring, and optimizing.
