6 Sorry I guess I misquoted.

8 Feel free to warn (for now) but don't append it anyway, otherwise the
9 eclass is simply not usable in some contexts. Unfortunately I've seen
10 too many packages out there where --disable-debug still enables it
11 (broken AC_ARG_ENABLE), or where --disable-debug stops _every_ symbol
12 emission (which is almost never what you want), or where --enable-debug
13 stops the whole optimisation (which again is almost never what you
14 want)....
