That is indeed a very good reason, in addition to getting the type right
automatically (by virtue of letting the compiler pick it).
Should we make this an explicit guideline in our documentation?
Better yet: can we create a Coccinelle script to fix it automatically?

How about 'Both'. We can't assume all contributors have Coccinelle on 
their OS/system.
