 For the specific example of temporarily changing the logging level, yes.

 I think a generic implementation would also be valuable when debugging
 dialplans or endpoint configurations.

For debugging purposes, I would agree with this statement.  Many times
when trying to capture logs for a bug, you need to first modify your
logger.conf, reload logger, enable debugs, reproduce, disable debug
logs, edit logger.conf then reload.

It would be great to do all that from the CLI.

Many years ago I wrote an Asterisk application that implemented an edit 
command so you could enter edit extensions.conf and when you exited the 
edit, the file would be automagically reloaded. Unfortunately I had to 
drop it when the client's interest waned.

It's a nice idea, but the powers that be change verbs too often.  Something
like:
- debug_reload xxx would be even nicer (IMO).

Sounds fine to me.  I don't think it should be particularly difficult to
implement, as long as the CLI command implementing the reload is
located in the same file as the reload itself (true for most modules,
but for chicken-and-egg init situations is not always true for the core).
