Interesting.  Ruby has avoided the magic comment, and the typing is
done in annotations rather than in the function signatures.  It's
interesting to see them go a different way so that we can compare the
two approaches.

I rather like it.  It's a shame that the rest of Ruby's syntax is
inferior to python's..... ;-)
