BTW, if you don't want the assert and don't need 'if 0' (usually
only needed to avoid circular or unwanted imports to get at the
class name) you can just say:

  isinstance(foo, MyClass)

That's the minimum hint that Wing needs for the type.

We're hoping to add inferencing type through function/method args 
at some point.  It's a bit tricky to do well, but should greatly 
reduce the need for isinstance hints.
