  Then the sentence "the static type of the
focus (context item,
context position, and context size)" is misleading, as we
know
the type of the position and the size ;-)  And if we speak about
the
static type of the context item, I guess this is related to
static analysis...

  So the goal is to say "the focus in the dynamic context is
initally undefined in the body of an inline function," if I am
right.

  I won't take that discussion path right now ;-)
