Description

Each Cake addin requires some kind of argument validation (or at least should :). Instead of having to implement this in every addin it would be nice if this could be provided for common cases (null check, empty string check, ...) by Cake.Core.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review existing Cake.Core source for similar helpers (e.g., Check.NotNull) and propose a set of validation methods for common argument types.
