<p>Support for being built with the '-asan yes' command line option
70+
or the GNUSTEP_WITH_ASAN=1 environment variable setting. The library
71+
is also aware when it was not built with that option but is linked to
72+
an executable which was (and a few features which confuse the leak
73+
checker are turned off). In addition NSObject+GNUstepBase.h declares

any leak found by the leak sanitizer.
