What is a dialect? And what does it mean for a dialect to support a
datatype?

This is not defined in DTB, but it is referred to very often. In
particular, what happens if I use a dialect (e.g., BLD), but use more
datatypes than are strictly required to be supported by implementations?

In addition, it is nowhere specified which datatypes are "supported" by
Core or BLD.
