Hmm, I wanted to mandate type-checking in kind of a style guide for
implementations. Do you have an idea how to achieve this goal in a
generic way? Off course TypeError or ValueError should be raised.
But if we have no access methods for attributes it's pretty ugly to
implement the check statements.
