Mostly - but if the implementation can prove that a dynamic error is 
always raised during evaluation, it is free to raise it at compile time.

A static error is certainly raised during compilation - but it's not the 
only type of error that can be.

There's also type errors, which can be raised at compile-time or runtime 
regardless of whether you can prove they will always be raised during 
execution.
