Why not just discuss each proposal on its own merits, independently of any other proposals? Do they interact with each other?
Good question. I think they will interact. Not in terms of implementation, but in terms of benefit. To quote the Zen of Python:
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
However, we won't know for sure until the proposals are in.
Debugging is a massively broad area, and we commonly have and use multiple completely different tools. Let's not start assuming that proposals will interact or conflict until we actually have some that do.
Your proposal for __debug__ to be able to have integer values seems like something that should be discussed in more detail, independently of exactly what the debugging code governed by it ends up doing. If you do "if __debug__>2: print(f'{blah!d}')", it'd use two different proposals, but they're completely orthogonal.
