+    predefine it as 0 prior to including any wxWidgets headers to omit the
+    calls to wxASSERT() and related macros entirely in your own code and you
+    may also predefine it as 0 when building wxWidgets to also avoid including
+    any asserts in wxWidgets itself.
+
+    Alternatively, you may predefine it as 2 to include wxASSERT_LEVEL_2() and
+    similar macros which are used for asserts which have non-trivial run-time
+    costs and so are disabled by default.
