strict flake8-type-checking (#6866)

recent flake8-type-checking encourages cast() using the name of the
class rather than the actual class, presumably with the aim that you
might find more things you don't need to import at runtime

however here, consistent with other recent MRs, I've taken the view that
it's better to assert that you have the expected type than to trust that
it's so
