Having been a user of filesystem for quite a while, I really think it is time to turn off any default checking. This is hardly the first time that we have seen this kind of non-error cause a problem.
I see two other possible improvements: 1. remove the default, requiring the user always to pass a checker. This will definitely stop the guessing among the users. 2. make the error message contain a hint that the default checker might be the wrong choice.
