I actually fail to see the benefit over stdout (other than windows problems with stdout), but I am not against it. It is no problem to replace my writeln() with outputDbgStr(). If it will be implemented I would like to add a feature request: outputDbgStr(tag, message: String); It's very useful to include a tag to indicate which unit/class/method/etc created the message. Got used to it while coding for android devices as there is such system in place as stdout is only reachable on the device itself.
