Think you can go the extra step and write a system test for this?
That'd greatly simplify future checks and ease the maintenance burden
as well.

Since the types can be a combination, you're going to want to express these
as a list, e.g.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 (type '(A))
 (type '(A P))
 …
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

an empty list being the default value standing for "no type specified"
if I got the meaning right from the documentation.
