Languages don't tell you anything - tools for using languages do. For any
programming language (except my ToonTalk :-)), I can imagine a tool that
reports misspelled variables. In some languages the reports are only
warnings since the variable might have a binding when the program runs. I
can also imagine tools that when provided with optional type information
report type violations in programs before they are run.

There is E the language and there is E the language and associated
programming tools and it seems to me that this thread has been mixing them
up.
