Specifying types for function arguments.

I don't know if the practice is ver Julia-ish, especially since they
really seem to like using types for method overloading, but I find that
"type hints" often make Adent of Code solutions easier to read, since
you're often switching datastructures to represent related concepts
(this doesn't happen so much for dayjob code).
