yes, i guess "-text" should turn debugging history off because without
the flowviewer you stand no chance of browsing this information anyway. 
Also, interspersed "if debughistory: ..." would make it more
obvious what is just there  for debugging purposes and what is
really needed for annotation/translation to work properly.
