Looks like a sane idea.  I do think that in addition to a message at
compile time we should add one at runtime.  I'd hate for somebody to
forget they compiled one way in development and then forgot to change it
when they went into production and have the reduced security.  A runtime
warning would probably help with that.

Otherwise the rest of it looks fine.
