Comment:

 @ncohen You also wouldn't use a lemma if you don't satisfy its hypotheses,
 and if your situation doesn't, then it doesn't make the lemma wrong. It is
 also our responsibility to display warnings/errors when it makes sense.

 @jdemeyer "I'm too lazy to figure out a good way to display a warning" is
 how we got into this situation.

 @vbraun There's a sign along the path telling you where the shards are way
 off the trail, but I don't think we want a sign saying you don't want to
 walk in the forest. I agree this should be more visible for users at the
 frontend (and I forgot this class was in the global namespace), but I
 don't agree with getting angry calls from debt collectors well before it
 comes due.
