In my view, it makes documenting the debugger harder, is likely to introduce bugs in the debugger code (if there aren't any there already), and is simply pointless, so I propose to get rid of it. (With deprecation, of course ...) (Cf. the recent discussion on options on gnucash-devel. I'd say this is a classic example of a pointless option whose only rationale is that someone wanted to avoid making a decision.)
