Interesting.  It's almost the exact opposite of Prothon.  Prothon is an
attempt to make eveything as dynamic as possible and Boo is going in the
static direction.  One difference is Boo has to make exceptions and allow
dynamic behaviour (their "duck" feature) and Prothon doesn't have to make
static exceptions although I am considering adding design-by-contract.
