I think this is referring to things like dynamically-sized arrays, rather than "X is an integer there, now it's a String!" when talking about dynamic-typing, as it's obvious that the latter would obliviate the aforementioned properties of finding conceptual errors.

As to the storage-allocation, I suspect it is also referring to Ada arrays needing definite bounds in certain cases -- the ability to return properly-sized arrays from a function *should* be enough to ease this complaint *EXCEPT*, perhaps, when dealing with Very Large Arrays.
