This reverts commit dfe54cd82f.
The idea in the commit was to simplify the code by removing the check
and instead letting it TypeError which has the same effect.
However this type error is caught by mypy, and rather than ignoring the
error we think it's better and clearer to go back to the previous
explicit check.
Add a very lax mypy configuration, add it to tox -e linting, and
fix/ignore the few errors that come up. The idea is to get it running
before diving in too much.
This enables:
- Progressively adding type annotations and enabling more strict
options, which will improve the codebase (IMO).
- Annotating the public API in-line, and eventually exposing it to
library users who use type checkers (with a py.typed file).
Though, none of this is done yet.

It doesn't seem to add much value (why would one execute tests
based on that marker?), plus using the docstring for that
encourages one to write a more descriptive message about the test
