Such as default warning level 3?

Do you have figures on that? In my experience, this overhead seems to
be a small price to pay for the ability to track bugs (inside your
debugger!)
on released code.

As always, if someone doesn't know what he's doing, there's little help
besides getting educated. But, seriously, I think that most users that
even get into debugging release builds would surely appreciate library
code that supports this.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers, and thanks for one of my favorite libraries
