Description

Was having this debate during a submission today. Do y'all have opinions?

My reasoning was to apply the same rationale as runtime vs run-time vs run time: `type check` when `type` is modifying the verb `check`, `type-check` when acting as a phrase modifying something else such as `type-checking algorithm`, and never `typecheck`.
