Well you are talking about a fix, we are not. To put in a:

   Put_Line ("Scroll_Value : " & Scroll_Value'Img);

in an application won't fix anything. It will only tell you the value
that you suspect may be wrong.

Besides if you write it like this you can just search through all your
sources for 'Img and easily find all those debug messages. If you do
it your way you will have to figure out which messages are debug
messages and which are not.

Other than that I agree with you that quick *fixes* can live on
longer than their life expectancy; keyword : Y2K.
