MBOX-1-TO-N-BLOCKING sometimes fails. Taht's good that it worked.

Easiest way would be to create a separate branch, make changes and push
it to the mai nrepository. GitLab offers Merge Requests between branches
and it would be easiest for applying (just clicking "accept request"),
and review – inline comments are supported. For an example check:

https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl/merge_requests/2

and after succesful merge deleting merged branch. If changes are trivial
(by that I mean they doesn't affect build and are obviously correct)
feel free to push directly to develop branch.

Pushing this was fine, it wouldn't affect any build – but please do it
to develop branch, pushing to RC branch would create merge conflict
between rc and develop, because I've moved README (which was de-facto
debugging doc) to src/util/debugging. We have to make things in
src/util/* more visible/accessible, document it's all there, but
debugging info isn't a good "welcome" page, but toplevel README file is
rendered as such by GitLab. So this changes generallly should be applied
to moved file src/util/debugging and pushed to develop branch.

Best regards,
Daniel
