Oh sorry after re-reading you I think you might be looking for
a more practical answer.

The reason why the checks are disabled in a "strict" environment
is because your software has attained a level of stability, at this
point you can safely remove the checks at compile time and speed things
up a bit (sadly I haven't seen many projects reach this level of
confidence and stability).
