There are multiple orders of magnitude difference in the effort needed to completely rewrite an entire API implementation in this other language vs. adding some annotations to the existing code. Sure it can't catch some really dirty type abuse like that, but it would let you identify when it is happening so you can prioritize your focus accordingly.

If you're using C for some reason, your system is riddled with flaws, all of which are catastrophic, and you should use every tool you can find to eliminate them. But you should also be aware it's not going to help very much unless you can throw away all legacy code.
