Yeah. Also, I believe it's possible for an extension that's been
built with assertions enabled to be used with a core server that
wasn't. This is why, for example, ExceptionalCondition() is not
ifdef'd away in a non-assert build. Even if you think there's
no use for CheckRelation[Oid]LockedByMe except in assertions,
it'd still be plenty reasonable for an extension to call them
in assertions.
