RFC: production_status / if_production_status tag

Could we consider weaponising the site production status to do stuff if a certain state is set? Could be a one-shot or container approach.

Diagnostics, web dev tools, that sort of thing.

For example:

<txp:if_production_status something="testing">
[…]
</txp:if_production_status>

…or, more succinctly:

<txp:production_status />

Does not this suffice? The prefs name is.. ahem.. production_status (‘live’, ‘testing’ or ‘debug’).

Well, this is embarrassing…I’d tried three times across two sites, couldn’t get it to work, and now I’ve manually typed instead of copy & paste, it works.

Thank you, etc. Ahem.
