Hi Noah,

It seems like you're really asking for *dynamic* checking -- not only
checking properties that can be proved statically, without running the
program, but also runtime properties.

In this regard, I have a positive impression of the work that people are
doing on "contracts", especially the Racket folks.

Happy reading,

Andy
