Comment (by jeremyescott):

 Should the patch be redesigned with this approach in mind, and the
 transient name checks applied to set_, delete_, and get_ functions? I'm
 happy to revise the patch with that goal in mind.

 > I tend to agree with his idea. Rather than fix the issue in only one
 place, instead put in a validation mechanism for all transient functions.
 But doing so might shift this ticket to an enhancement rather than a
 bugfix.

 Both?
