These options both enabled more checking within the C++ standard library
and can expose errors in submitted code.
-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG is mentioned separately because while we want people to try it,
it's not always feasible because it requires the whole program and any used
libraries to also be built with it (as it breaks ABI).

v2: Improve phrasing for the types of checks and be less scornful about ABI changes.

+We also ask that for C++ code, users test their programs with
+-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS
. If you're able to rebuild the entire
+program (including any libraries it uses, because it changes ABI), please do try
+-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG
