    ExtraDataMixin has a series of checks to determine if it should
    set this.extraData. When calling set(), it makes a determination
    based on the attributes passed in and the current object. This doesn't
    always do the right thing, though.

    If attributes are passed in and this.extraData is not set, then we
    fail when trying to call a method on it.

    Along with that, the method used to check this.extraData was a
    presence check in the property, which isn't as safe as a truthiness
    check. While fine in practice, this issue was encountered when changing
    Babel's TypeScript options to enable allowDeclaredFields, which
    resulted in extraData being explicitly set to undefined.

    The safer check and the asserts should help catch any confusing issues
    in the future.

    Unit tests pass.

    Tested with the failure condition and saw the more useful error.
