The #if options presumably bracket a bunch of lines between #if and #endif.
The trouble is those lines look like normal code! Unless the editor is
clever enough to highlight that section differently.
They are also more intrusive because are in addition to the debug code.
(Also, they clash with the use of the same #if/#endif symbols for
commenting out code, which is a different requirement; you might not want
that code deleted when you come across it much later.)
The thing about writing in capitals, or using special indentation, is that
each line stands out by itself without relying on editing features.
