Request noted. I guess I can imitate Malcolm's code for calling expand()
easily enough.

Of course, -d9 no longer exists in Exim 4. It's been changed to use
names to select debugging areas. I'm not so sure I want to have to
invent a way of exporting the names, but the bit values will be
published. Similarly for the log level.
