Comment (by schlessera):

 Just reading through this, I think that the proposed solution of having a
 "development mode" is not a good approach and is so vague that it will
 most certainly lead to a lot of confusion and issues down the road.

 What if I want to "develop", but I need caches to see the scaling
 behavior? What if I want to disable caching on a production server?

 My suggestion would be to stick to the behavior that should be controlled,
 not to an overarching names that might make perfect sense with a full
 product, but quickly gets muddy with something that is used as a
 development framework by a lot of folks.

 How about having a constant `WP_USE_INTERNAL_CACHES` that defaults to `!
 WP_DEBUG` (NOT) instead?
 You could even go as far as having it be full enable/disable with
 `true`/`false` or even allowing a comma-separated list of types of caches
 to use for more granular control (only if needed).
