  @name Debugging macros 

  All debugging macros rely on ASSERT() which in turn calls user-defined
  OnAssert() function. To keep things simple, it's called even when the
  expression is TRUE (i.e. everything is ok) and by default does nothing: just
  returns the same value back. But if you redefine it to do something more sexy
  (popping up a message box in your favourite GUI, sending you e-mail or 
  whatever) it will affect all ASSERTs, FAILs and CHECKs in your code.

  <b>Warning</b>: if you don't like advices on programming style, don't read 
  further! ;-)

  Extensive use of these macros is recommended! Remember that ASSERTs are
  disabled in final (without __WXDEBUG__ defined) build, so they add strictly
  nothing to your program's code. On the other hand, CHECK macros do stay
  even in release builds, but in general are not much of a burden, while
  a judicious use of them might increase your program's stability.
