According to whom? The C preprocessor?

When I read the spec, I came away with the impression that debug should work
like so:

debug { stuff } should get compiled if the compiler is given -debug or
-debug={something}. Basically, I see it as a boolean. Are we in a debug
compile?

debug(number) { stuff } should get compiled if the compiler is given -debug=n,
where n >= number (and there's nothing that says debug(0) { stuff } will always
get compiled)

wait, I'm seeing a pattern here 1 -> true, 0 -> false. That sorta makes sense.

debug(id) { stuff } should get compiled if the compiler is given -debug=id


Yeah, spec needs to be more precise. I would like to see -debug=id =>
debug_level=1, though.
