Thanks -- I will look at this.

I did think about this one, but forgot to mention it.

I don't see a good way to make it work in general.  It could be made
to work sometimes, but not always.  In particular I think we could add
a "don't evaluate side effects" mode to expression evaluation -- this
would do an ok job except for the case of an expression involving an
inferior function call.  In that case I think we could still only use
the static type.
