Note: PHP source code is compiled to bytecode, as is code in many other
programming languages.
Get rid of the common misconception of “compiled language” vs. “interpreted

The relevant difference here, if any, is between static and dynamic
type-checking. (Get rid of “loosely typed” vs. “strictly typed” as well.)
