(Whiteboard: [telemetry:glean-rs:m?])

As a follow-on to 1653046, we should explore adding strict type checking to the public API.

This could just result in exceptions (though care needs to be taken to raise them on the caller's thread, not the dispatcher thread to be really useful), or we could use the Glean error reporting mechanism (but that would require supporting reporting errors over the FFI, which we don't currently do).

We consider the implementation time too much for the little gain this has.
