Comment:

 While this sort of check can be useful, we have to be judicious. Type
 checking prevents duck typing and also imposes a performance penalty. In
 this case, I don't think the ease of debugging the usage mistakes
 outweighs the drawback of an extra `isinstance` check on every request.
 You can write to the DevelopersMailingList if you want to discuss the idea
 with a wider audience.
