+Set debug flags. All flags are or-ed and @var{flags} may be given
+in C syntax (e.g. 0x0042) or as a comma separated list of flag names.
+To get a list of all supported flags the single word "help" can be
+used. This option is only useful for debugging and the behavior may
+change at any time without notice.
Note, that all flags set using this option may get overridden by
@code{--debug-level}.
