There are lots of options that callers can set, yet most have a limited
range of valid values, some options are meant for output (e.g.
opt->obuf, which is expected to start empty), and callers are expected
to not set opt->priv.  Add several sanity checks to ensure callers
provide sane values.

The change to the struct does not seem to have much with the above
rationale.

And a one-bit wide bitfield that is signed is always an iffy idea.

The field is unsigned, so >=0 side triggers "-Werror=type-limits" warning.

Material for squashing I have collected so far...

If the only possible values are 0 and 1, I can either add assertions
to check that at run time, or make the compiler check it for us by
confining its value to a single bit.  A compile-time check seems more
robust...

...assuming of course I don't mess it up like this, not noticing that
it's an int that needs to be changed to an unsigned.  I'll fix this
up.

But the fact that you flagged the struct change -- would you prefer
some commit message explanation of how it's related, or was it more
the case that you felt it was a different kind of change and wanted it
split out into a separate patch?  I'm suspecting the former but am not
quite sure.

Thanks, will include all of this in my next round.

Sure, as long as they can catch assignments (e.g. ".field = 2",
or more interestingly ".field = .field + 1" in a loop, etc.) and
increments or decrements and flag them.

I do not see it as related at all, so either split it out into a
separate patch, or just drop it (and have a runtime check as
everybody else in this step), would be the sensible alternatives.  I
think the latter is easier to reason about but it may be just me.
