There are good reasons for writing defensive C code. You need
to check for memory bounds mainly. If you didn't you'd have
plenty of the sort of flaws which make for CERT advisories.
I don't extend the Erlang "let it fail" philosophy to my C
driver code. Personally I consider this interface to be
external and code the C node to validate the input.
