I could be misRemembering, possibly even in an earlier life (HC), that variable typing was done by the interpreter at runtime, or in HC 2, at compile time.
Maybe this was changed in LC? Someone here must know...

(We agree on all your other points)
I remember reading many years ago on this mailing list that if you assign a
number to a variable:
put 52 into x
LC stores that variable as a number from the get-go and only converts it to a
string if needed.
