/*
 * Example demonstrating expect_check_data() for testing functions
 * with many parameters using default values.
 *
 * PROBLEM:
 * When testing functions with many parameters where most values remain constant
 * across multiple test calls, using standard expect_value() becomes repetitive:
 *
 *   expect_int_value(func, param1, 5);
 *   expect_string(func, param2, "admin");
 *   expect_string(func, param3, "read");
 *   // ... repeat for every parameter
 *   func(1, 5, "admin", "read", ...);
 *
 *   expect_int_value(func, param1, 5);  // Same values again!
 *   expect_string(func, param2, "admin");
 *   expect_string(func, param3, "read");
 *   func(2, 5, "admin", "read", ...);
 *
 * SOLUTION:
 * Use expect_check_data() with custom checker functions that validate against
 * default values. This allows you to:
 * 1. Define default expected values once
 * 2. Apply them to all function calls using EXPECT_ALWAYS
 * 3. Only set specific expectations for parameters that vary
 *
 * This example demonstrates four key patterns:
 * 1. Basic default parameter validation
 * 2. Range checking (min/max bounds)
 * 3. Whitelist validation (allowed values)
 * 4. Dynamic return values based on input parameters
