I don't either.  Even though I am not 100% happy with the current
implementation of the embedded sanity checker in parse-options API,
as long as it is made available on all platforms, developers of a
platform specific part can also take advantage of it to catch any
issues while they develop, without waiting for Linux (or other
platforms) users to help them do so.
