I don't think it's a good idea to put debug-only stuff inside
[info]. The [info] command has a precise role in introspection
that's a very important feature of Tcl not strictly related
with debugging. I suggest to put it in some debug-only command,
with sub commands for memory and so on, but I fear that the
memory debugging command is not build this way, but implemented
as a stand-alone command.
