This isn't actually types.db at work, but the runtime checks (or lack
thereof) in `append!`. With the scrutinizer, you'd see something like:

    $ csc foo.scm

    Warning: at toplevel:
      (foo.scm:1) in procedure call to `append!', expected argument #1 of type 
`list', but was given an argument of type `string'.

So types.db will help if you heed its warnings when compiling, but the
way `append!` is written it'll happily ignore any non-pair arguments you
give it (which I agree is strange, but I don't know if it should be
changed; others may).

Cheers,

Evan
