No, it's not; it's a run-once-a-day typecheck to catch errors not too
long after they creep in.  If you wanted to experiment with doing it
at runtime for every write, we'd be interested in seeing how it goes,
but the code is likely too slow and heavyweight to make that
practical.  (Still, that could easily be wrong...)

>How's it going?

Greg's in a meeting right this very second with the relevant PHBs.
Oscar will certainly get released, the only issue is what license
it'll be under.  (We'd like the Python license, and I'd be optimistic
about that getting approved.)
