Hi Twain,

Thanks for sharing your findings with us, but we don't consider this
problematic as a general principle. Some parts of Django lean more toward
duck-typing than others, and in many cases we avoid being specific about
sequence/mapping types.

In the future, please also share the exact code or permanent links -- the
line numbers you cite cannot be looked up against moving targets
otherwise.
