And if you want to check, just do:

if (is_garbage($key)) { throw Exception("Garbage!"); }

Except in this case you know what's going on and when the exception is
thrown and can do what you like, instead of your code just blowing up
randomly with no warning. Or, alternatively, having to check for an
exception each time you do an array access.
