Comment(by robertwb):

 Sorry, my comment was not supposed to be derogatory about the code, it was
 supposed to be encouragement that the bug wasn't anything deep (but I can
 see how it was taken the wrong way). You're right about C--we need to set
 it if it's being used later.

 I typically raise a `TypeError` when I get something that's the wrong type
 (e.g. I expected a list, but got an integer, or something like that), and
 a `ValueError`when it's something about the value (e.g. it was supposed to
 be positive, or a prime).

 I'll fix the patch, including more doctests.
