I sort of get that your trying to protect these from unintended toggling,
but I would say it's that's not really new with these statements,
prr_debug() come and go before and I'm not aware of this is an issue.
And in any case, a query can be modified.

I think what bugs me is now query stuff works differently. Previously,
all the query strings - 'module', 'file', 'line', 'format', were
used as additional selectors, but now we have this new one 'class'
that works differently as it's requited for pr_debug_cls() statements.

'frame-of-reference' I'm questioning the how 'class' works as mentioned
above not the implementation.

Thanks,
