Since C++20, such check can happen in constant evaluation, so it's no longer correct to call it "runtime check". This PR changes the phrase to "dynamic check", which is consistent with - the "dynamic" in `dynamic_cast`, and - P3953R3 - renaming `runtime_format` to `dynamic_format`. Also slightly tweaks semantic line break as drive-by.
