Oh nuts, my fault for being too hasty.
No runtime *type* errors. Runtime errors are restricted to a small set of
exception conditions defined by the language. These can be caught and
handled, and the exception mechanism allows you to define you own exception
values and raise and handle them. I'm talking about ML here, btw.
