+Useful macros and functions for error checking and defensive programming.
+wxWindows defines three families of the assert-like macros:
+the wxASSERT and wxFAIL macros only do anything if \_\_WXDEBUG\_\_ is defined
+(in other words, in the debug build) but disappear completely in the release
+build. On the other hand, the wxCHECK macros stay event in release builds but a
+check failure doesn't generate any user-visible effects then. Finally, the
+compile time assertions don't happen during the run-time but result in the
+compilation error messages if the condition they check fail.
