My recommendation would be to do those kinds of checks externally rather than adding them to the function. Changes for convenience will slow things down when it's not convenient. It's built to do just one thing as fast as possible.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
