Description

we could theoretically have code like

function myFoo(arg1 as node, arg2 as string, arg3 as Group, arg4 as myNameSpace.NetModule

and the transpiler/thingy could inject a line of code below the function definition to ensure the runtime type.

Research direction

Start with the proposed function-parameter syntax in the issue and clarify how the transpiler should handle node, string, Group, and namespaced types. Define the runtime-checking behavior and failure cases for the four example parameters; the issue names no files or tests, so the relevant transpiler entry point and validation tests must first be identified.
