Perhaps I've been too concise. If so, I apologise. My proposal is that
the system be set up so that
    debug(a, b, c)
sends output to the correct stream, whatever it should be.

Rhodri:  Thank you for your contribution. Are you saying that because
the developer can write
    print(a, b, c, file=sys.stderr)
there's not a problem to solve here?
