We have to have care implementing typed controls, let me first
introduce you a bit in test driven development (even we might ending
writing test first and the actual code then) and proceed step by step
(with smaller goals). BTW, if you don't have one already, i recommend
you to work with at least two sandboxes, one more general and other
only for implementing the typed controls feature.

PS: let's try to meet together with Pau at irc
