Grok 1.1.1.

I've been using deploy.ini to do development in the past, as debug.ini 
added all kinds of stuff I wasn't looking for (exception formatting 
view, for instance). In the past, deploy.ini would log errors to the 
console, but it stopped doing so.

Is there harm in logging exceptions to the console in deploy.ini? 
Perhaps I should switch to using debug.ini for a while and see how that 
works now. I just know that deploy.ini's behavior was different in the past.

I admit I have no idea how the .ini files work; I copied an older 
deploy.ini to get the old behavior back again in the end.

[I'm not sure about the pdb behavior; it seemed to behave rather oddly 
giving lines I wasn't debugging at all, but that might have been due to 
my frustration]
