Note that there is no need for opaque pointers to be "void*".  Heck, even 
the Windows API has used for quite some time, opaque pointers for all 
"handle" types passed (if you #define STRICT).  A function which takes a 
"brush handle" won't accept a "cursor handle".

Well, you still need the debugger to figure out why the "sanity check" failed.

I'm not saying such checks are bad, when used appropriately.  The definition 
of "appropriately", of course, varies based on context.
