I'd heard about but forgotten about these debugging hooks (t and v commands). I tried a small example and documented it in the CookBook for now:

Please elaborate if there's more useful things to state about this.

It seems there is also a "d" command that wants an X DISPLAY to run.

It also seems that the output can be made less noisy so that the meaning of the debug info stands out more clearly.
