I understand, and having all types default to any/variant isn't an option?

I know it can't be validated, but there will always be situations where 
things just don't work, but having a description of the interfaces + 
methods/signals it supports might already be enough in a lot of cases to 
be able to "infer" the types of the arguments. At least it seems better 
than nothing?
