I'd be interested in seeing some cases of undefined behavior that could
reasonably be detected at compile time or at run time.  I'm sure there
are some, but I'd be surprised it were as many as half.

Just one example: Signed integer overflow has undefined behavior, and
defining it would require runtime checks.
