I think so.  The way I would use this function is to put expensive checks into strategic locations which would only run when developing locally (and additionally perhaps in one of the test environments.)  And in that case I'd like to globally disable them for the live environment.

* can be ASSERT exception handled ? - I prefer this be unhandled exception
- like query_canceled because It should not be masked by plpgsql EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS ...

I don't care much either way, as long as we get good information about what went wrong.  A stack trace and hopefully something like print_strict_params for parameters to the "expr".
