Sure they do, in combination with  types.pm

We could integrate types.pm with the core and use it to replace the 
COMPILETIME checking of the hashes, of course, I am part here since I 
wrote most it.

(Even if it doesn't check member names currently, the infrastructure is 
there, however I guess it must be rewritten as C since, uhm, it's slow 
to verify perl from perl)
