But this macro is not always used for checking the type of arguments - look
at xfns.c, line 1467:

void
x_set_mouse_color (f, arg, oldval)
     struct frame *f;
     Lisp_Object arg, oldval;
{
...
  if (!NILP (Vx_pointer_shape))
    {
      CHECK_NUMBER (Vx_pointer_shape, 0);
      cursor = XCreateFontCursor (dpy, XINT (Vx_pointer_shape));
    }
...

We are checking the variable which is not an argument. What should we do
here? Should we use 0 for this case and 1, ... as an argument number and
report that appropriately?
