Just to make a point, I think it should be
- infer_types(True) - unsafe mode
- infer_types(False) - backwards-compatible mode
- _hidden_developers_only_directive_turn_off_inference_completely(True)
- absolutely no inference
Similarily for "bint" etc. I think there's a limit to how much of the
language should be controllable by compiler directives; sometimes we
have to just make choices on the users behalf, or the result will be
completely unusable.
If we have to do tweaks to double and bint to get acceptable default
behaviour, but would like a switch for backwards-compatability, a simple
language_level("0.12") directive would be better.
