/*  (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. */
/*  */
/*  Warning: if you don't like advice on programming style, don't read */
/*  further! ;-) */
/*  */
/*  Extensive use of these macros is recommended! Remember that ASSERTs are */
/*  disabled in final build (without __WXDEBUG__ defined), 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. */
