Comparing the one-time cost of figuring out some flags for the 3 major
implementations (for some it may be as easy as selecting "debug mode" in
an IDE, which may even be the default, and a suitable list probably
already exists in a few places on the web) vs the time saved in debugging,
I'd recommend carefully evaluating this decision.
