Either would work.  Not that big of a deal.  If you add a new level
remember to tweak the DEBUG_LEVELS file, the max count for
debug_level if any, and any docs.  I also see a MULTI_DEBUG defined
at 2048, which is one higher than the max debug we had before, so
that might need to be changed.

Some status line stuff goes away so quick that it might not make
much sense to put it there.  Depends on how it is displayed I guess.
We could cycle through multiple strings on one of the currently-used
boxes I suppose.
