Create your own typed objects if you want type checking:
public clas YourClass {
public var indexInt:int;
public var length:int;
}
var yourClass:YourClass = newYourClass();
var foo:String = YourClass.foo; //compiler error
I'm pretty sure Java wouldn't throw a compiler error if you add or access a
previously nonexistent key to a Dictionary, either, since that's pretty much
the point of a Dictionary in most languages, isn't it?
