For what it's worth, I recently added some non-operational
command line arguments into newsyslog. In my case I decided
to add only *1* new argument, and then all the special
debugging commands are specified as strings to that argument.
This means that only one option-letter is used up, and it
also makes it much much less likely that someone is going to
specify the special debugging/regression options by accident.
