Adding explicit parameter types now exposes this information in the
module documentation, and proves really helpful.
We only do this for non-string types as strings, mostly because strings
are implicit.
PS We also make copyright statements consistent and use #Requires for
explicit library imports
* Type "string" must be type "str"
* A few more Copyright corrections
