Comment(by vincentdavis):

 I agree with this. (including adding the keyword)
 "However, a better alternative, IMO, is to add code that checks for
 PSDness and raises a warning if it's detected - that should be the default
 behavior, but we can add a keyword parameter which allows the user to by-
 pass that check if they want to. "
