So output should probably be a string[].
We're looking at:
enforce(output.length >= 2 && output.length <= 4.
"Incorrect number of outputs passed");
enforce(["a", "b", "c", "d"].any(output),
"Invalid value for output");
This is a one-time work per program. Granted, error messages could be
nicer so that's a couple more lines. The gain from integrating such
checks would be small.
