Description

In languages like Python where there are no strong types users with invalid configuration (e.g. camel cased vs snake cased attribute keys) might not spot their mistake if they are new to CDKTF and perceive the behaviour as a bug.

We can (potentially) look out for some common mistakes like wrong casing, passing an array instead of an item of the list, etc and throw more helpful errors. This might need to be done in JSII
