Yes it's just for making panic less chatty.

Yes, it only solves it for this specific -- but common -- case. Or at 
least it was a case
that annoyed me and prompted me to write the patch :)

I had a patch some time ago for a xpanic() where the caller could pass 
in additional
flags, including one to disable the backtrace. But that was a much 
larger patch,
this was a simpler alternative.
