You obviously make fewer typos than me!

I am one of these (apparently rare?) people who do try to run with it on - and 
indeed this only causes me problems, in general, with my own old code.  I've 
found that it's worth it - those typos may be occasional, but the bugs they 
cause can be subtle and hard to track down.

YMMV, of course.
