  Hi,

Thats why I tend to prefer assert for additional sanity checks.  They
help finding bugs, but can optionally be compiled out.

But adding new asserts just before a release isn't the smartest move
indeed, maybe clip now and turn the checks into asserts once 1.3 is out
of the door.

cheers,
  Gerd
