      At least twice, I have spent minutes or hours debugging a crash at a line like this:

      auto& readConcernArgs = ReadConcernArgs::get(opCtx);
      

      Eventually, I will realize that my code crashes because opCtx is nullptr. If this is a common mistake, we could speed up debugging it by asserting in Decorable::Decorator::operator () that the pointer to the decorated object is not null
