I have no issues with var[:[type][:default]] as the syntax, incidently -
despite by personal preference of var[:[type]][=default], which I
happily admit is solely because of the resulting ability to write:

   procedure foo(x:=0)

(I don't expect to use the type check very often, as I prefer to
handle type check errors manually [often without producing a
run-time error, which always seems like a pretty intense response
to a problem!].)
