Really cute approach to reporting type errors: when there's a type error, show an example of a runtime error that the type check has prevented!

Playing with optional type signatures in Python, I realise that the return type is the most important to me.
I'd much rather have a function with only a return type instead of a function with only parameter types. It's often quick to add too.
I've been using "Expected Int, but got String" for my type error messages, but I've been wondering if I could do better.
"Expected Int here, but this value has type String" or "This expression requires Int, but the value is String".
Do you have a favourite?
