Sure, however, thinking up an example which is short enough to be
clear, yet substantial enough to be of any use would take more time
and thought than I can invest right now. I'll certainly try to post
something later.

However, I hope that it is self-evident that development of unit tests
hugely benefits from the ability to run incomplete programs ... while
static typing tries hard to prevent you from running incomplete
programs.
