What would be that argument? Getting out of your way to _enforce_ some 
notion of what is good and what is not is a bit condescending to your 
potential users, no?

In any case, nothing beat good, old fashioned documentations :)

If it's so important for your project to protect the innocents from 
themselves, then "sandbox" your application/library/whatnot one way or 
another. But this seems to be a lost cause: if people want to shot 
themselves in the foot, they will, no matter what.
