/**
 *  @file
 *  By default `ASSERT_QUIT|CRASH` macros are also active in Shipping builds. This was a personal preference and
 *  that's why you can turn it off if you define `MCRO_ASSERT_IGNORE_SHIPPING`.
 *  
 *  @remarks
 *  Yes I know that "shipping builds must have all debug info and checks removed" but I have yet to see one project in
 *  my career where Shipping builds didn't have weird issues or crashes not present in other debug builds, and debugging
 *  them removed many years from my expected life-span.

 *  This is done in the hopes that these checks failing in PIE sessions doesn't crash the entire editor giving the
 *  developer a chance for fixing the error before restarting. However early returns might cause undefined/vaguely-defined
 *  side effects and may lead to uninitialized resources or in worst case scenario may lead to incorrect states in
 *  resource cleanups which then might crash the editor. Always check the validity of your resources in destructors.
 *  Failing this check outside of PIE or in a Standalone session will still crash with a `check` macro.
