I suspect it doesn't matter actually. The semantic analysis of the 
function body is going to have to happen anyway. It all depends on 
whether the compiler does an extra pass which it throws away the work of 
- which seems fairly unlikely to me (having written a couple of Java 
type resolvers I could have done without having to write xD).
