If it's not marked dynamic, you'll always get an exception when you try to dereference something that's not explicitly declared. If not, you've found a compiler bug :) However, if you're casting to something that's marked dynamic (such as Object, or *), it won't. And you can always use foo["field"] without a compiler warning.
