Unfortunately, in the real world, debugging options sometimes hide bugs.
So we can't think that all will be jolly good once we turn them off.
My personal opinion is that developers should run their code using these
options and the rest should use the "release build" version.

Actually, I believe in the "no debug options at all" approach, i.e. all
debugging code enabled all the time, but that's another bikeshed.
