        }
        
        func dequeueReusableCell<CellType: UITableViewCell>(for indexPath: IndexPath) -> CellType {
            let identifier = String(describing: CellType.self)
            let untypedCell = dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: identifier, for: indexPath)
            
            guard let cell = untypedCell as? CellType else {
                let error = "Couldn't cast cell \(untypedCell) " +
                "with identifier \(identifier) as \(CellType.self)"
                fatalError(error)
