It wouldn't work in all functions, just functions that have a known
input range.

Since if we get garbage input, we more or less will get garbage
output, and we may assert or crash.
But, if we have 'clean'(valid) input, and get garbage output, we can
nail down where the values are getting clobbered.
Think of the vector 3uw hack we had to do.

It would just make it a bit easier to know that your routine is
getting valid input.

A example of this is the entering of umlauts in a input box, we don't
support anything but ASCII, and so when people enter that, it passes
all the routines OK, but the output isn't correct at all.
