I'm not saying not to do that; just saying we should not propagate it to places that don't need it. get_raw_page gets its page number from PG_GETARG_INT64(), and the range check should be there. But then it calls get_raw_page_internal, and it could pass a BlockNumber -- there's no need to pass an int64. So get_raw_page_internal does not need a range check.
