Ah no, not trying to force typing on a weakly typed language, just
saying that it would be nice if introspection was forced to be as
"up-to-date" and complete as possible in the _language implementing the
service_ , nothing more. So be all means have python-based services
return v. But if there are (ever) too many services that just have
incomplete or worse wrong introspection information a lot of potential
for the uses of introspection could be lost. That's the only point I'm
trying to make I think.
