Seems like a good enhancement to me, if someone can figure out how to
do it cleanly. Unfortunately those debug messages may not be in a
place where it's real easy for them to know whether they're being
called from CLUSTER VERBOSE or not, so it might take a little thought
to produce a clean patch for this.
