+.. crowbar:element:: FragileStatement <- 'fragile' Statement
+
+ Some behaviors are difficult to ensure the robustness of at compile time, and these behaviors are defined in this specification as *fragile*.
+ Fragile behaviors used outside of fragile statements should produce a compiler error.
+
+ Compile-time Behavior:
+
+ Fragile behaviors used inside a fragile statement must not produce a compiler error for their fragility.
+ Nesting fragile statements should produce a compiler error.
+
+ Runtime Behavior:
+
+ The contained statement is executed.
+
+.. crowbar:element:: ExpressionStatement <- Expression ';'
+
+ Compile-time Behavior:
+
+ If the expression is not a function call, the compiler may emit a warning.
+
+ Runtime Behavior:
+
+ The expression is evaluated and the resulting value is discarded.
+ Function calls must be fully evaluated, but expressions that are not function calls may be optimized out.
