It's complicated because it avoids potential problems. Consider:

* The user closes the debug output window. Debugging turns off automatically, so you need to monitor when it happens to reactivate /debug.

I just felt that giving up a little bit of control with /debug would be necessary to guarantee that the debugging is never unintentionally stopped.

It's not a completed script, but I do think simply injecting it into /debug is not going to be reliable enough.
