More specifically, this impacts the tyranical :) 80 column limit we have:


DEBUG(cout << "whatever stuff here" << yeah << "ok");

is much more clear to me than:

LLVM_DEBUG(cout << "whatever stuff here"
                 <<  yeah << "ok");

To be specific, excess wrapping and clutter is what I would find 
detrimental.
