While I'm all for tightening checks, I'm not sure we reasonably can:
Existing guests may (perhaps inadvertently) rely on this behavior,
and hence may break with the change. I think a prereq to this is to
have a command line option (or even a per-guest one) to control
strict vs relaxed argument checking behavior, and tie the extra
checks to that option being true.
