This is why I don't like all this "duck-typing" at all... it is NEVER
clear which part of code is late bound and which is not. I guess
writing 'late expr' before every single expression I wan't to make
late bound would be a little bit irritating - if I want some late
bounding I want it for the whole part of code and if I don't I just
use proper () to separate  the expressions.

Especially the
late-expr <op> expr...

rule is suprising for me... why left side, not right? ;)
