A whole lot of stuff. I've used them for:
- Logging all calls to a function, including its arguments.
- Ensuring there is a database connection before the function is
called.
- Casting the arguments to certain types before passing them to
the function.
And there is much more possible...

The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
