First, IIRC the debug statements are only in the wrapper functions. I
would think that this is the most likely that people using markdown
would want to debug. In debugging their app which uses markdown, they
might be unsure that their app is actually passing things on to
markdown correctly. Those debug messages allow them to easily check
that. I think that adds enough value to leave them.

Glad to hear it, and glad you brought it up. The testing framework is
actually what I want to focus on now that 1.7 it out of the door. I
had started to develop some regression tests for the api, but
unfortunately lost them in a hard drive failure (and no I didn't have
a proper backup). I guess it's back to the drawing board on that. Any
input others may have is more than welcome.
