oooor you could just stuff it all in the square hole 😁

But seriously, I like the approach. I tend to go overboard with my type definitions sometimes, because I feel like it saves me some thinking down the line, and conversely get frustrated when the tools for it are limited.

My first foray into the world of programming was a python book for kids. Among other things, it featured an example for multi-line strings that contained the line "Explicit is better than implicit". Aside from the irony of quoting that in the context of python (I believe it was written for 2.4 or 2.5, before explicit typing was even supported), it stuck with me.
