The code in QP follows a pattern of using class attribute foo_is to describe the set of values that instances may have on the foo attribute. QP has a tool called qpcensus that goes through every stored instance and verifies the attributes against these "type" specifications. BTree instances, and other persistent instances are checked the same way. Besides verifying every attribute of every instance, the qpcensus tool gives a count and a size range for each class.
