Here's a macro that just has the effect of combining the code that would 
check each variable's length into a short form. It refers to the input 
variables both by name and value.

macro lencheck(l,vars...)
    exprs = Expr[]
    for v in vars
        sym = string(v)
        push!(exprs,:(if length($v) != $l error(string($sym," must be 
length ",$l)) end))
    end
    Expr(:block, exprs...)
end


Invoke with: @lencheck 5 x y z #etc...
