3.2 Verifying

The verification phase ensures that the program obeys the static semantics of the language. In the standard dialect, verification may be done anytime before a construct is first evaluated. In the strict dialect, verification must happen before any part of the program is evaluated.

The differences in the verification rules of the standard dialect and the strict dialect mean that some programs that would verify in the standard language will not verify in the strict language. However, all programs that verify in the strict language will verify and run with the same behavior in the standard language.
