Don’t have examples handy but I do find myself perplexed as to pass in a
symbol or a string at times. Even if both is okay, IMHO it’s nice
practice to express that precisely.
But also it’d be real cool if we had gradual typing in Emacs, e.g. some
‘declare-type’ function that can assign type info to symbols which can
they be used for static checks and docstrings.
We already do something similar in spirit with defcustoms, don’t we?
