What would be that argument? Getting out of your way to _enforce_ some
notion of what is good and what is not is a bit condescending to your
potential users, no?
In any case, nothing beat good, old fashioned documentations :)
An extension script might not work, but it would be nice if it couldn't
cause damage throughout the system.
If it's so important for your project to protect the innocents from
themselves, then "sandbox" your application/library/whatnot one way or
another. But this seems to be a lost cause: if people want to shot
themselves in the foot, they will, no matter what.
