So far nobody's mentioned lib objectclass. That does run-time type checking during method invocation. I use it a lot. The multiple-dispatch of methods is distinctly handy as compared with single dispatch of Java. The extant classes are a not-exactly-seamless mechanism for importing standard POP types into the object hierarchy (but about as good as one could do). We might be advised by its creator whether some compile-time type-checking could be done. Robin. |
