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

complain about in the code, most of them predating me working on SPI too
much, but I'm not a fan.
