ok, nice;->

The problem is it is hard to decide where the proper exception is to be
made. I can make it only worry about the scenario you are faced with
something like attached (incomplete, uncompiled, untested) patch. Will
that do it or can you think of other scenarios where source validation
is done and this is needed (example forwarding path)? Patrick?
[I could move the check into fib_validate, but that would punish other
users with a few extra cycles]. 

cheers,
