Here is a URL to the original discussion. DanielJ mention that we might
want to loosen up the check, but then added something that confirms
Mark's preference:

| Might want to loosen the expected type; I don't think every platform

So, I'm guessing that without a compelling reason to change it,
it should stay that way...
