    0:  No assertion macros at all, this should only be used when optimizing
        for resource-constrained systems (typically embedded ones).
    1:  Default level, most of the assertions are enabled.
    2:  Maximal (at least for now): asserts which are "expensive"
        (performance-wise) or only make sense for finding errors in wxWidgets
        itself, as opposed to bugs in applications using it, are also enabled.

    pass NULL pointer to it. Doing this will result in not even evaluating
    assert conditions at all, avoiding almost all run-time cost of asserts.
