Perl 6, for instance, supports subset types such as:

  subset Positive of Int where * > -1
OTOH, while some Perl 6 supports some static type checking, subsets of this kind seem to support only dynamic, not static, enforcement.

Such subsets are readily available in all dynamic languages I've used. But the issue here is really about compile-time checking these things, and that's a different animal.
