Multisig signing is an example of untrusted input from an adversary;
this is a good example where you'd be better off just handling it
correctly rather than trying to "make it easier". (although handling it
correctly may include internally converting every not-yet-signed dummy
signature into a 73 bytes pushdata prior to calculating the size)
