Hello,
I start using this new debug-on-event a bit and I find the side effect
of permanently changing debug-on-quit to t annoying. Is it intentional?
Thanks.

It's intention in the sense that that's how it was intended to work,
but that's because the feature is designed to bring you to the
debugger no matter what, and as a last resort. Maybe we can set a
timer to undo the change to the variable once we break into the debugger.

Or rather than a timer, we could define that a special value
(e.g. `once') for debug-on-quit means that it is reset to nil after we
enter the debugger.
