I can see an argument for wanting to protect consumers from sloppy or malicious authors.

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.
