[plug] check value type

[Garrz]

If you mean check the data type, the need to check this is language
specific. Some check data types more strictly handled than others. e.g.
Perl is very open, C++ isn't.

To answer your question, wouldn't the best way be to go to the data unit
allocation? If you are writing the code use meaningful variable/constant
names and commented code in the first place..  8^)==
