What I'd even like better (because contracts are release specific):

}
But that does not work. Why do we have special syntax for debug but not for
release. Both seem to me very similar. In the end I tend to think
release/debug as a shorthand for version(release/debug). But that's not
quite right. Somehow it's allowed to write version(unittest) {}
equivalently for unittest {}. But for debug/release there is no such
thing. Why this asymmetry?

I think it's just for pragmatic reasons (avoid allocating a keyword for
something you can do a different way). Also, it's more often that you
want to insert extra code in debug builds. It's odd that you don't want
the checks in debug mode, for example.
Release-only code can be inserted with:
debug {} else {
...
}
