No, I'm saying that if you're adding one check, there's a whole heap
of checks that still need to be added, *especially* if this is going
to fall back to page cache copy between superblocks that may have
different limits and constraints.

There's security issues in this API. They need to be fixed before we
allow it to do more and potentially expose more problems due to it's
wider capability.
