Invalid inputs that violate input validation rules should not happen

To me, "validation" absolutely means "checking if the user input the
right things".
What you're talking about sounds more like assertions, which would fit
with the "this must be OK else die" implication of exceptions.
Perhaps the functions could be called filter_assert_var_array() etc?
Or perhaps some other term, to make it clear that these functions are
not intended for the common task of "form validation".
