I don't think that we should do that, it will confuse people.

Now, I don't know much about python docstrings, but could we do it with
those (was that what you meant with your 2nd suggestion)? Like a special
line in the docstring that hold the type of the parameters in the order
they appear in the function signature?

but I send out a separate mail on those
