right, context did exist at that point but seems limited to filenames, and symbols afaict, obviously though you can obtain much more context in a statically typed environment


It is this 'obviously' that I am challenging. It might seem easier to do it for statically typed languages, but it is not something that is only possible there.

Note, I am decidedly not claiming it is easier in a dynamic language. Just making the claim that it is possible in both.
