Dangerous: I see, I've just been caught.  Though it did work perfectly
for me for maybe five years or so.

But what's unintuitive about it?

I don't know exactly how much it does save me actually.  (I developed
the habit to switch it on for frequently run code having type
declarations and leave it on if nothing breaks.)

But if it's really better not being used, why is it still supported by
CHICKEN?
