I want to use wtf_is_fatal==1 as the gate for my expensive asserts since the people who will set wtf_is_fatal (the dev team) will also be ok with the slight slowdown caused by expensive asserts. Strictly speaking, these should be two independent settings, but I was hoping to piggyback off of wtf_is_fatal==1 so the devs do not have to worry about setting two different bits. If I can not access wtf_is_fatal, I will probably add a separate property.
