    This class presents the debug report to the user and allows him to veto
    report entirely or remove some parts of it. Although not mandatory, using
    this class is strongly recommended as data included in the debug report
    might contain sensitive private information and the user should be notified
    about it as well as having a possibility to examine the data which had been
    gathered to check whether this is effectively the case and discard the
    debug report if it is.

    wxDebugReportPreview is an abstract base class, currently the only concrete
    class deriving from it is wxDebugReportPreviewStd.

/**
    @class wxDebugReport
    @wxheader{debugrpt.h}

    wxDebugReport is used to generate a debug report, containing information
    about the program current state. It is usually used from
    wxApp::OnFatalException() as shown in the @ref page_samples_debugrpt.

    A wxDebugReport object contains one or more files. A few of them can be
    created by the class itself but more can be created from the outside and
    then added to the report. Also note that several virtual functions may be
    overridden to further customize the class behaviour.

    Once a report is fully assembled, it can simply be left in the temporary
    directory so that the user can email it to the developers (in which case
    you should still use wxDebugReportCompress to compress it in a single file)
    or uploaded to a Web server using wxDebugReportUpload (setting up the Web
    server to accept uploads is your responsibility, of course). Other
    handlers, for example for automatically emailing the report, can be defined
    as well but are not currently included in wxWidgets.

    A typical usage example:

    @code
    wxDebugReport report;
    wxDebugReportPreviewStd preview;

    report.AddCurrentContext();  // could also use AddAll()
    report.AddCurrentDump();     // to do both at once

    if ( preview.Show(report) )
        report.Process();
    @endcode
