BTW in libnl-tiny I've learned, that using assert() in CMake release builds
needs fiddling with C flags as CMake adds -DNDEBUG to release build C flags
which in turn disable assert().

Anyway, I agree, that crashing with invalid inputs is the proper way, so I've
reworked it with assert() as it works for analyzer as well.
