How about just knowing what you are passing to the function
before you call it, so that it isn't a problem?
FWIW, I didn't like some of the Linux libc and kernel
function extensions of similar ilk which were brought
into FreeBSD, either: sloppy programmers should learn
to ask people "Would you like fries with that?", and
stay away from computers.
