Description of the new feature/enhancement

The debug tool is great, but could certainly be improved if you could add an option to actually do a \n when the \r (CR) character is received. This would significantly increase the readability of the infinite debug strings coming out, without affecting the actual output and understanding.

So that it would look like:

blah blahblah   blah
[C/R] blah blah

(Where [C/R] is the special unicode (\x2400 range) character for \r.)

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Add an optional 2nd debug option after the "debugFeatures": true, option.
Name the option: "debugFeature_Show_NL": true.
