// This checker looks for cases where the dynamic type of an object is unrelated
// to its static type. The type information utilized by this check is collected
// by the DynamicTypePropagation checker. This check does not report any type
// error for ObjC Generic types, in order to avoid duplicate erros from the
// ObjC Generics checker. This checker is not supposed to modify the program
// state, it is just the observer of the type information provided by other
// checkers.
