Like I say we *should* be fine with the refactoring without this, or at
least if it's an issue we should improve the validation.

I understand what it means, I just don't find it's adding clarity most
of the times it's used (there's a few places where it is useful like
pasting in strings in formats). There are some examples that I'd
complain about in the code, most of them predating me working on SPI too
much, but I'm not a fan.
