I guess it partly depends on how varied your types are. In some domains you can find yourself working with 10 variables that are all strings, or all floats/integers. At that point the type isn't that helpful for distinguishing which variable is which.

I should have added that fairly liberal use of type aliases also helps.

    using B64String = std::string;

    B64String encode(const std::string& text);
    std::string decode(const B64String b64);
