Nice!
[1] does a similar argument-checking thing. It parses special LDoc comments (that LDoc now supports) and uses a hook, rather than a decorator (hooks are unfortunately very slow, but at least optional). Comment syntax is inspired by [2], which is also an argument checker, and there was a conversation about argument checking last year [3]
Cheers,
Geoff
