So farther away means faster relative speed and thus more redshifted (Doppler effect) Farther away also means older light (due to the finite speed of light).
Putting that all together means that to observe old light from the start of the universe we have to look in the IR spectrum.
In my opinion hinting won't help. Everyone who cares about the performance gain will enable the hint (which I expect will be almost everyone) so you have won nothing but added noise with the hint.
The more concrete the type signatures become the less they become documenting.
A signature of a -> a defines the id function because the type is so generic. A function of String->String can do pretty much anything.
I am slowly trying to add task identities to Simpletask to get closer to this ideal (at the cost of 'ugly' meta data in the Todo file)
Edit: Also http://caiusproject.com/ looks very interesting.
