1 Static type checking is off by default. Even it is used, only ML code 
is type checked, and there is no contract on the interface between ML 
and Scheme to protect you.

2.Dynamically typed code is the only thing available in PLT at run time. 
Even typed Scheme turns everything into a dynamically typed world after 
static type checking.

3. In theory, it is possible to compile ML into typed Scheme. But 
unit.ss and plt-match.ss are heavily used in the result Scheme code. 
None of these two is available in typed Scheme for now.
