 production.

 That's not true. Fatals and warnings are '''reported'''. As long as
 WP_DEBUG is not set, then we don't touch the php.ini display_errors
 directive, which on a production server should be off.

 At this point I'm -1 on this (unless it is tied to WP_DEBUG, possibly).
 There's an obvious potential that it would be misused to simply lower the
 reporting level instead of suppressing the display of warnings the proper
 way. Errors should be logged, not displayed, and errors we report
 (warnings/fatals) by default are the kinds that absolutely should be
 reported and logged.
