-  expression is TRUE (i.e. everything is ok) and by default does nothing: just
-  returns the same value back. But if you redefine it to do something more sexy
-  (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.

-  Extensive use of these macros is recommended! Remember that ASSERTs are
-  disabled in final (without __WXDEBUG__ defined) build, 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
