Shoot the developer who abused the API.

If the function accepts enum values 1 and 2 and you pass a 3, you deserve the 
undefined behaviour.

That is the same as passing a bool that doesn't contain exactly values 0 or 1 
or passing an uninitialised pointer.

We have to handle all regular conditions. We don't have to guard against 
stupidity.
