What is the point of having Vala check it everywhere? I expect
programmer to know what is going on inside a method/class he wrote.
Input and output values are being checked and that's IMO perfectly

Imagine it like checking your identity at nation borders - you don't
need to identify yourself before entering every building, that's just
pointless. At least that's my opinion.
