I still feel a bit reluctant since the potential false positives would at least 
be left to the user to decide how to handle, while the false negatives from 
this option would just be lost without indication.
I don't see much value left in this check if one decides to use the option, 
anyone who would use this option might be better of just doing this check 
manually instead, then again it's optional of course.
If there wouldn't be much of a loss in performance I guess there isn't any 
significant harm in adding the option though, I'll give it a shot.

I didn't suggest forcing anything though.
