I'd really like to keep it in though. At least, we know by looking at
this small function that we're going to be safe all the time, no matter
what the caller does.

And if the caller wants to check it as well, fine, it's only a simple
comparison ran once or twice at boot, it's not like it's in a hot-path.

I've addressed your other comments, thanks!
