(By 'strictly', I think you mean 'all methods (etc) are declared
explicitly in code, not generated by AUTOLOAD, etc'. If I'm not
understanding you correctly, please correct me.)
Couldn't we still have a 'be-super-strict' flag that would throw
warnings upon encountering a construct that would interfere with
compile-time checking? Make it be off by default, of course, but if
people want Perl to help them check this kind of thing, it should be
possible.
