Do you mean in general (i.e. changing the err block to check
security_getenforce), or just for the case where a boolean isn't
defined?

I have mixed feelings about checking and using security_getenforce() for
anything other than permission denials, as it can hide problems during
testing.  Also, in Android, it is a bit harder to switch the system back
to permissive mode than on a conventional Linux system.
