errs() is no good.  I would want to keep errs() printing things out 
immediately.  I need something else that buffers until program termination.

So I would write the above as:

DEBUG(dbgs() << foo);

Does that sound reasonable?

There are some tricky cases where dump routines are used either to
print error messages or to print debug information.  In those cases
I may have to parameterize the dump routine with the stream.
