 I think we should consider adding some additional debug/dev helpers for
 the REST API when `WP_DEBUG` is active. When in this mode we'd provide
 additional validation that the developer is following the REST API
 paradigms correctly, validation that would be too intrusive or slow in
 production.

 Some things that come to mind.

 1. Verify that a developer is not calling `die()` in a response handler
 instead of using a `WP_REST_Response` object. This would be on top of
 #36271. I still see this in the wild.
 2. Validating that the schemas themselves are valid.
