> 4. The explicit-vs-implicit is about the contract defined in the spec (making explicit what, precisely, is required of both parties), not the type test. Perhaps a clarification in the (3333) spec that 'type str' means "type(s) is str" would be in order, then, since this discussion makes it clear that "type str" in English can also mean "isinstance(s, str)".
