Comment (by Tim Graham):
I'd be inclined to say wontfix unless a consensus can be reached on the
forum. See a [https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/make-the-system-check-
look-at-the-types-of-settings/27424 related thread]. on a proposal to add
a system check to verify the type of all settings. There are often
unintended side effects when we've added checks like this.
Here is [https://dev.to/codereviewdoctor/don-t-abuse-django-s-debug-
setting-1flc#feature-flag-implimentation an interesting approach] (though
perhaps not the best one) I found to help avoid a configuration mistake
with environment variables:
{{{#!python
from ast import literal_eval
from os import getenv
DEBUG = literal_eval(getenv('DEBUG', 'False'))
}}}
