Yes, and I'm okay with option (a) as well, although I prefer (b).  (a) works 
for me...what DOESN'T work is that pre-pre-typing phase where !!str gets 
tagged before the other types get tagged.  On or off, but not off, halfway 
on, then fully on.  You know?  I see no reason for a premature partial typing 
phase.
