&gt;Okay, a few examples: One of the situations that happens often is a
&gt;function returning either result or 'I couldn't do it'. With typed
&gt;system, you need to return two values explicitely. With untyped, you
&gt;can return either a list of (integer) 0 (assuming that result is a
&gt;list).

This would seem to presume that all types are simple types and thus
there are no aggregate, complex, or user-defined types in your
language implementation.  Why not have the function call return a
structure or equivalent?  (cf ColdX's frobs (which I don't like BTW as
they seem a hacked design solution))
