I'm cool. Yes, a log script holding a map of 'allowed writers' and their
'debugging properties' is the most
flexible solution.

Before taking the plunge, I ran some rough tests (script attached). They lead
me to believe that
performance-wise the best solution is to stick to if(DEBUG) win.debug() and be
happy with it!
Here's some detail to back up my statement (rough figures, take with a grain of
salt):
Fastest method for production scripts (unpaused debug window):
static DEBUG=0
if(DEBUG)
win.debug(...)
which is 15x faster than calling a hypothetical log script label (5776/377=15
5899/379=15)
calling a log plugin (simulated with win.hex(0) paused debug window)
wouldn't be faster, if fact about ~20% slower (5673/3971=1.2 5749/4003=1.2)
currently, pausing the debug window yields a ~2x speed improvement. Note: even
when paused, the
top field of the debug window is still updated.
