Yes, as mentioned the default would be nil: there's no point signaling
such errors to an end-user that hasn't specifically asked for such
sanity checks.

I hadn't (and still haven't) considered enabling those checks
when --enable-checking is specified: it might turn out too many false
positives currently.  But I'll keep it in mind.
