On a somewhat related note.
While writing REST tests thius weekend, I set CATALYST_DEBUG=3D0, yet
C::A::REST insisted on debugging anyway. I guess I never realized that
you always have to check $c->debug first, and assumed $c->log->debug
would go to the bit bucket if CATALYST_DEBUG was false.

In my case, I just cheated, and had MyApp::debug do the check first to
squelch all of the non believers.
