I figured it was relevant, since it relates to types as a whole.

Consider the following: I have a "rating" type, which is a whole number from 0 to 5. If you try rendering a view with a number outside of that range, that's a bug! Which means you probably made a mistake somewhere.

I want software to help me catch bugs. If something can't be confirmed with a linter or compiler, getting a good error message during runtime is also fine. Once I've established that I expect some value, I don't want to write extra checks to confirm that my expectations are met.
