  34
  35     0:  No assertion macros at all, this should only be used when optimizing
  36         for resource-constrained systems (typically embedded ones).
  37     1:  Default level, most of the assertions are enabled.
  38     2:  Maximal (at least for now): asserts which are "expensive"
  39         (performance-wise) or only make sense for finding errors in wxWidgets
  40         itself, as opposed to bugs in applications using it, are also enabled.
