Actually I've not seen that often. Where I've seen it frequently is in
Visual Basic and Delphi/Pascal.
I hated it too.
But I think that the name of an identifier (noun/verb, single/plural,
the meaning of the word) already gives enough context to understand what
type it is.
And every use of it (assigning and reading) additionally makes it clear.
So _for me_ there is no need for an additional hint for the type.
