Is it a —wise— idea to consider using globals on the IO State?

I have a command line option, -d/—debug which I need to refer to probably everywhere I write output…otherwise I have to explicitly pass it around… I just wondered if there was a consensus on using this feature?

There’s also a ‘packed/quiet’ mode which guarantees zero spurious output, startup messages etc.

Sean.
