To me, "validation" absolutely means "checking if the user input the 
right things".

What you're talking about sounds more like assertions, which would fit 
with the "this must be OK else die" implication of exceptions.

Perhaps the functions could be called filter_assert_var_array() etc?

Or perhaps some other term, to make it clear that these functions are 
not intended for the common task of "form validation".
