If you can wait another week or so, I'm trying to
finish something that is minimal in a sense. Right
now, there are packages for logging that are like
Java's (Stephane Carrez, AWA), or Log4Ada, ...
These are made for log files, specifically, less so
for quick debugging. But then, it's Ada, so pragma
Debug is for quick jobs.
