+/******************************************************************************
+
+LyX has five different macros that can be used to make assertions. The behave
+the same way in devel mode: They assert. The differences between them are how
+they behave in release mode.
+
+In order of increasing seriousness, they are:
+
+LATTEST(expr)
+  This macro should be used when one just wants to test expr. If devel mode,
+  this will lead to an assertion. In release mode, we will simply continue. So
+  LATTEST should be used only if you know, in advance, that it will be safe to
+  continue with the usual program flow, but failure of expr still means that 
+  there is something that needs to be fixed.
+
+LASSERT(expr, escape)
+  This macro should be used when a failure of expr is not compatible with 
+  continuing the ordinary program flow, but is something from which we can
+  recover. This might mean simply returning early from some routine; it might
+  mean resetting some variables to values known to be sane; it might mean
+  taking some other corrective action. 
+
+LWARNIF(expr, msg)
+  This macro should be used when a failure of expr indicates that the current
+	operation cannot safely be completed. In release mode, it will abort that
+	operation and print a warning message to the user.
+
+LBUFERR(expr, msg)
+  This macro should be used when a failure of expr indicates a problem with a
+	Buffer or its related objects, e.g., a Cursor. In release mode, it throws a
+	BufferException, which will typically result in an emergency save of that
+	particular Buffer. The msg will be displayed to the user and so should be
+	internationalized.
+
+LAPPERR(expr, msg)
+  This macro should be used if a failure of expr is incompatible with LyX
+	continuing to operate at all. In release mode, this issues an ErrorException,
+  which typically results in an emergency shutdown. The msg will be displayed
+  to the user and so should be internationalized.
