Pretty sure whitespace isn't used as a delimiter in this construct. I
could be mistaken. But yes, it's perfectly serviceable.

This was brought up a few weeks ago in, I believe, version 3 of this
patch. That question was discussed (because that's what I did the first
time out), and _someone_ _else_ asked about why I didn't just do it the
way I've done it here.

Everyone has a preference.

I chose to simplify the choices and avoid multiple symbols, instead
opting for two switches: choose your device, and decide on Debug FS
enablement for it. IMO Very simple.

I can't fathom a scenario where this wouldn't work. Is there one?
