I think it is still possible to implement meaningful error messages. A good overview of how this can be done is here: http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~jeffery/merr.html. Anyway, if you disagree, I will resend patch with explicit error check.

I think checking values explicitly is preferable to encoding them in the syntax, since it gives you a chance to provide meaningful errors. If you rely on the parser all you'll get is a generic "syntax error" with no clue to what you did wrong.
