The consistency checks in WebCore and WTF are for Debug code that is 
useful for debugging, but too slow to be enabled by default in debug builds.

You just add #define FOOBAR_CONSISTENCY 1 when needed.

 From a quick check at CHECK_CONSISTENCY, it looks like they were 
disabled a long time ago 
(https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14981). Maybe it is dead code 
now...?
