 I guess my point is having the developer declare the constant as false
 when debugging as they would likely already declared WP_DEBUG as true.
 Seems like simply transferring the burden of defining the constant to
 another person.

 If I choose to have WP_DEBUG true this patch requires me to define the
 WSOD bypass constant in some way, even if I was happy with it being
 undefined.
