  | Default to check-names for safety.

Please don't do that, check-names applies at the wrong place, and
is far too big a hammer.   Applications which actually depend upon
names returned (all that ever matters) having (or not having) some
particular syntax should be verifying that before using it, just like
any other data received over the network.   What is to be valid, and
what is a problem, varies from application to application.
