I actually worried about that when I wrote it, but I left it because
expecting 100% detection of errors isn't possible; there are always some
that will get through. And it's not clear to me that anyone would use such a
language. But that doesn't excuse languages that only detect 10% of common
errors. Ada strikes nearly the right balance (although I'd like the option
to detect of uninitialized objects to be required; pragma Normalize_Scalars
is both optional and doesn't detect all such objects).
