Thanks for mentioning that. Initial version which was not posted had
that check.

This series just replaces the existing accesses without changing anything.

So if any of the exiting code has that bug then it will blow up nicely.

For future callers I don't mind adding a new check and resend the series.

Would you prefer adding a check  ?
