Excellent summary.

The same holds of NDEBUG and _DEBUG. The way they are currently 
handled is that Whisper makes sure that NDEBUG and _DEBUG are 
synchronized with DEBUG, and then consistently uses DEBUG itself.

I think that's a good way to handle the Mac OS DEBUG macro as well -- 
replace it with WHISPER_DEBUG and make sure that DEBUG, NDEBUG, and 
_DEBUG are all synchronized with it (see XDebug.h).

>Draw back: macros may have lengthy names.

I can live with that, but I would prefer if we did not add a category 
to those macros which we anticipate will be used often -- 
WHISPER_ASSERT et al. It's enough that we are lengthening them with 
WHISPER_, we don't need to add a category as well.
