In the good old times,

we used to have a static DB parser that was used to provide a "lint" tool for databases. (My mourning of the loss of that feature was largely ignored.)

That program used dbStaticHost, the alternative version which stored all record field values as strings. Support for that was removed in 2012, apparently by me, but it was sufficiently clunky and confusing that I doubt if it could have lasted much longer anyway.

"Fixing" bugs on the fly? Rather not. Large blocks of explanations and suggestions on the IOC console? Rather not.

I assume you are against my original suggestion then, since that would be fixing bugs on the fly.
