How about introducing a 'g_return_if_fail_compact' that uses your new 
and size-optimized version and leaving 'g_return_if_fail' as is?  This 
would preserve compatibility between newer and existing versions and 
also allow an application to use g_return_if_fail in the old way with 
all the __FILE__ and __LINE__ macros available.  Then 
g_return_if_fail_compact could even be more size-oprtimized by e.g. 
discarding the LOG_DOMAIN parameter.

Regards,
