Well, the way I see it (not that my opinion is all that important, but ...) you should be able to use more explicit typing by declaring the System.Double [] type if you desire, but IronPython should attempt to do the transformation if you choose not to (or neglect) to do so. That way you get b

Nonetheless, it does present some basis from which to start. I also suspect, specifically regarding the Starkiller paper, that some of the problems aren't all that relevent. For example, dynamic method creation: is that something that is going to be exposed outside of IronPython? If not, then do
