And if I don't, I'm just going to have problems of a different sort. :)

Imagine someone passing me a pointer that wasn't built using my custom
allocation routine, and then (by chance) finding an integer anyway when I
peeked behind the curtain for a hidden header that was never created. Oh
what fun those results would be to debug! Of course, such a problem can be
made a lot less likely to occur by adding some type of UUID to the header
section, but even that wouldn't make it bullet proof. I think MI is the only
reliable way to do it.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
