I know that you don't like it, and neither do I.  Signatures in GNU
C++ (http://docs.freebsd.org/info/gcc/gcc.info.C++_Signatures.html)
look better, but it's not enough.  If both signatures and argument
type inference are available, it would be perfect, but those who like
static typing may disagree.
