Fixed grids allows you to violate your own inputs.

[drummerdoc]

Since the beginning of time, we have allowed the specification of a fixed grids, but this assumes that you "know what you're doing". Sometimes, I clearly don't :), and screw up by giving grids that don't satisfy the inputs. I wonder if it makes sense to add an option that "fixes" up the grids according to an understood set of rules to do things like ensure proper nesting, max_grid_size and blocking factor. Just a thought...

I would recommend aborting rather than fixing the grids -- but I agree that the user needs to be made aware their inputs are inconsistent

That certainly would be easier to implement and describe.
