This is not what secret.Enabled() means. But it probably illustrates that the function needs to be renamed already. Here's what the doc comment says:

  // Enabled reports whether Do appears anywhere on the call stack.
In other words, it is just a way of checking that you are indeed running inside the context of some secret.Do call; it doesn't guarantee that secret.Do is actually offering the protection you may desire.

That's not how it's implemented (it returns false if you're inside a Do() on a unsupported platform), although I agree the wording should be clearer.
Filed a CL for this, hopefully it gets merged ~soon.
