Request for review (vs) - 6843292

[Tony Printezis]

BTW, the conversation I had with Jon was whether bool guarded = ... 
should really be debug_only() or the equivalent of assert_only() (which 
we can only do with #ifdef ASSERT right now), given that guarded is only 
used in an assert. Is there a policy to use debug_only() for anything 
that's only used in asserts?
