By theoretical example, I meant something which you would never expect to
find in use. Perhaps it was a poor choice of wording in an academically
orientated forum :-)

I understood that much.

The problem is there is no good way to know what code we should "expect". Real world code might be "unexpected". Your criterion amounts to hoping no real world code breaks.
