If you are interested in more work in this area, I think that we still
have a couple of holes in contrib/, and even more in the backend code.
Perhaps a LLM scan would help.
The reason why these holes exist is that the patch series of
1b105f9472bdb was quite large, so I have been focusing mainly on
making sure that all the suggested changes were right instead of
trying to fix all of them. The long term picture is that we should do
the switch to do more type enforcements, and that this work is
incremental.
Saying all that, the proposed patch makes sense, and this is
incremental work, so I am going to apply it.
Thanks for caring. :)
