I should explain the reasoning for this.

I've talked to many C/C++ programming managers. They lament that every C/C++ 
coding group feels compelled to reinvent their own debug macro scheme. This 
makes it pointlessly difficult to share code between groups.

It's not that unlike how pre-C++98 code bases all had their own "string" class.

By baking one scheme into the language, people will rarely feel a need to 
reinvent the wheel, and will go on to more productive uses of their time.
