  The alternative is to run a system that you don't understand.  This
isn't recommended.

  The solution for too much debug output is even *more* debug output?

  I see your point, but I *still* think there will be issues reading the
debugging output, even with having it print filenames.

  The filename is already cached internally.  I think it's safer just to
*occasionally* print out the filename, and then ask people to *read* the
debug output.
