I see the benefit if it can be done, at least in some languages,
though. I've had code that needed debugging, yet worked perfectly fine
in a debug build. In C++, it usually means someone somewhere on the
project has handled a pointer badly or memsetted a class instance
(wiping a virtual pointer) or similar.
