Feature: ability to fully disable Raven for local development

I’d like to fully disable Raven for local development. Raven-node does this by allowing null to be passed for the DSN: https://github.com/getsentry/raven-node#user-content-disable-raven

However, this doesn’t work in raven-js because then I get the error Error: Raven has not been configured every time my code calls captureMessage. It would be nice if raven-js special-cased a null DSN as disabling Raven altogether, with no error message.

My current workaround is to wrap Raven.captureMessage in a function that checks if I’m on the local environment. I also conditionally call the install() method.

I guess this feature request is just asking to suppress that error message if debug: true. Otherwise I need to do:

var clientDSN = MyEnvironment.isLocal() ? false /* Disable */ : 'https://<key>@app.getsentry.com/30415';
Raven.config(clientDSN, {});

// Suppress the 'Error: Raven not configured' when disabled on localhost.
Raven.debug = false;

// Install after 'debug' has been disabled.
Raven.install();

Seems strange then that debug is enabled by default?
