I like it, especially since even if this is done, you are free to do the following...

Procedure TMyObject.DoSomething;
Var SomeVar: Integer;
Begin
 ....
debug.write('testing');
...
end;

... so that you don't have to go changing compiler options just to debug one routine, and you don't have to see everything in the whole app either.
