This is the age old debate between apps programmers and kernel programmers (as
two extremes). The app programmer is more interested in defensive programming,
the kernel programmer is more interested in efficiency. Ideally the unit tests
will ensure that when a function calls another function, it does so properly.

Im not saying that we shouldnt take your patch, I just want to be clear that
its
not always the case that we will, theres a line between the two extremes which
we probably draw in different places, so it'll be on a case for case basis.
Probably in the case where we dont check input parameters intentionally the
fix
is to improve the documentation instead.
