  I'm seeing a need for a #flush command here... ;)

  Usually if people are printing something with #debug, they want it
printed immediately. As the name depicts, you use it for debugging
purposes, not something which requires maximum speed. For debugging
purposes it may be important to see the printout immediately.
  I think that the output should be flushed after each #debug. I can't
think of any useful reason why it wouldn't.

  I also wonder if it would be a good idea to have a separate window
for the #debug stream (at least in the Windows version). Printing #debug
text in the messages window makes it hard to spot what was printed among
all the other text. This could be a selectable option.
