Sounds amazing.

Because there is no typecast in the core, but because there is 
one special ( we know the secret ) hack which has a built-in 
typecast ( it is document() hack ) - if you want some variable to be 
converted to node-set - just place that variable into separate file.

Comparing to this, perl is not a monster, of course. Perl is not 
saying that you should place your variables into separate files.
