i kinda wondered the same thing... but then i thought about it a little more and 
realized that one could have "debug" units and include files that are the same 
as the release ones but without the debug stuff included...

another thing is do you really want to rebuild everything in your project when 
switching modes and including (or not) all the additional debug info?

yes, i know the above could easily be handled with a define but not everyone 
thinks or operates the same way ;)
