Yup, if we can have static and dynamic checks of the same quality,
static checks are always better alternative.  In this case, runtime
check would probably be an expedite solution suitable for a shorter
term to fill the gap, as a static check with the same quality as it
would probably need some time to develop.

I do not have any particular interest.  If it is a tool fit for the
task, it would be good to use it, that's all ;-)
