I'd love if preconditions where available at the caller. This
would make it possible to use preconditions for input
scrubbing, even in release builds with disabled asserts.
That is exactly what they are not for.
I know that contracts are for specifying guarantees and
conditions in regards to correctness of a program.
Still, at the first point where I call a function with user
inputs, I often have to pretty much repeat the precondition of
that function (but react different on violation) to scrub the
inputs. I think it would be nice to be able to make the conscious
choice of using the specified precondition for that.
