Hmm, but what would we do if the validation failed?

Heh, yesterday I revised the original patch as attached and was about to
push when the bell rang.  I like this one because it keeps the comment
to one line and it mentions the function name in charge of the
validation (useful for grepping later on).  It's a bit laconic because
of the long function name and the desire to keep it to one line, but it
seems sufficient to me.

BTW upper case letters are not allowed :-)
