I develop the package which I use as AOT compiled shared library. I would like to know if there is something new in this area for debugging production code. I found using `const DEBUG = false` with `&&` here. Are there in Julia any conditional inclusions (`#ifdef`, …) or something like `Release` and `Debug` mods in VS,…?
