If even you didn't know about (debug 0), it sounds like I should update
the manual to recommend (debug nil) instead.
I do like the idea of offering (continuing to offer) a simple shorthand
that says "do not instrument args", even though that is the default and
is rarely used in current code. Adding an explicit declaration saves
later readers/maintainers of a macro definition from having to figure
out whether a "debug" declaration is missing.
