Ok, good.

Many public functions don't make a difference between invalid arguments
(or invalid type of arguments) and OOM. This might lead the caller to
think that OOM happened when the arguments were invalid. I believe it is
equally fast to return some different error code as it is to return the
same error code for different errors (even the low-level system calls do
this).
