A useful shortcut that works is a joy.
I don't think that this promotes 'sloppy programming' at all.. Anymore than Perl promotes sloppy program because you don't deal with malloc et. al.
From a quick read, and from how you describe it, it looks like a very useful too. :) I'll know more when I try and use it tho.. :) I'll give you feedback when I get round to doing that.
Looks promising tho.
