Hah, I don't think one should do that, I think the functions
that are sensitive to, in your words, <whatever>, should - and
only at that point - verify their inputs - and not rely on the
user to do that way before and there is no saying what will
happen after that and in between.

If several functions have this sensitivity to people string
manipulating the string indata, maybe they can share
a function to sanitize it - I mean, wouldn't that make it
modular, even?
