What about my mod of Derek's code?

constant vUnitTesting = find("-unittest", command_line())

if vUnitTesting then
    debug 1 -- instead of a 'with debug' use 'debug X' where x is true or
            -- false (default setting)
end if

Would that work better?  I guess you could even mix types at that point,
though I can't imagine a scenario where that would be beneficial/useful.
