Feel free to do sanity checking.

But no config options.

Why?

I'm looking at the current patch, and I'm left wondering which magic
combination of options I would choose as a vendor.

If one set of config options is not generally usable, then that set should
not exist at all. I refuse to have code that is complex _and_ conditional,
and for no apparent reason.
