The code analyzer will pick up on these and present more complete information for the asserted values." If I want to do this for an instance variable used in many methods of a class, I would have to do it in each method in which I want the type of the instance variable to be known, correct? No way to do it for the instance variable's appearance (e.g., self._model) in the entire class?

A single 'isinstance(self._model, SomeType)' should be enough so that 
Wing knows the type of self._model in all places it's referenced.
