Sure, but when I had to go through it, I found that it was the one
that's used to decide whether another macro would point to either
__attribute__((deprecated)) or to an empty string. It was doing
exactly the required job for that. My plan was to use it only for
default builds but let developers remove it to see new warnings.
Finally we did better and disabled engines completely!
