While resolving issue #1726 I needed to call some arg-check functions specifying where in the source the arg-check was called.
By chance I noticed that we have ErrorContext and the macro (since when? Is there any doc?)
I have modified most calls, but left the old code sommented out -- hope to delete in a couple of weeks.
