We haven't made it any harder since, by definition, the behavior is
undefined and users of the interface must avoid passing invalid arguments
in order for the behavior to remain defined.

No matter what system you have, you CANNOT RELY on "undefined behavior",
and doing so makes your program LESS ROBUST by definition.
