With the latter approach, wouldn't users only be able to link old object files with new runtimes if we never delete old checks? If that's the case, and assuming that we'd like to delete old checks, a single version symbol check would accomplish the same thing.

Ah, yeah, I can see how this might be cumbersome.

Running sanitized programs in production sounds strange to me. But, if there isn't really a cost to supporting this, I suppose it's fine.

Of course! My mistake.
