The confusion comes in that with the ' comment delimiter, you can change it to just about anything:
'{$DEFINE DEBUGGING_OFF}  or
'{$UNDEFINE DEBUGGING}  or
'{$NODEFINE DEBUGGING}  or
'{$STOPDEF DEBUGGING}  or
'{$DEF DEBUGGING}  ....

All but the first has the same effect and the compiler won't check or enforce a standard syntax with error messages - because they look like comments.   :-/    More dangerous; what if you have a define (or any) directive like '{$DEFINE DEBUGGING}  or  {$DEFINE DEBUGGING}  floating somewhere in a real 'comment statement - wil lthe compiler process it as a valid directive??

...Since SX/B 2.x is in beta... can this ' issue be "fixed" before release?  - not just because it's bugging me right now (obviously, I'll have to work around it for the time being), but because there seems to be a lot of potential problems with it.
