type or not type is really cosmetic matter. Then, only if Andrew or Hugh
or another active MM developers strongly requrest to make a type, I'll do.
But, now I haven't hear it.

In short, When both are right code, I prefer to take MM developers preference.
That's MM code. This is the reason why I taked Hugh's choice.

Thanks.
