Yes. I'm not sure what the "solution" is, but this seems to be a common gotcha. Yes, someone coding with functions from the library should presumably read the file Commentary. Still, we can perhaps do better, to try to get this info across. Mentioning it in doc string might help. But perhaps there is a better idea.

I find it a bit strange that the library itself does not check the variables before acting on them.
