Description
According to http://docs.enthought.com/traits/traits_user_manual/advanced.html#using-interfaces
> Using an interface class with an Instance trait definition declares that the trait accepts only values that implement the specified interface
Yet, I can do something like the following without error:
```python
from traits.api import *
class IThing(Interface):
x = Int
@provides(IThing)
class Thing(HasTraits):
x = Int
class Nothing(HasTraits):
thing = Instance(IThing)
if __name__ == '__main__':
n = Nothing()
n.thing = 'anything', u'', 'want', '!!', 11
```
Am I misunderstanding the docs or is this a bug?
