(the branch does not actually contain useful code. Switching this to
`needs_work`)
> It's not a wrong result, it's invalid input because it violates the
assumptions.
I was not able to write a patch that checks all assumptions and returns an
exception in this case. If these assumptions are so complicated to check
we cannot ask the users to check them for themselves before calling the
function. Some of them are probably calling this function on bad input,
and they are taking a big risk.
