The -set... methods are generally used to modify instance variables, in 
which case, consistency dictates that there should be a
-(BOOL)enableDebug;
counterpart to
-(void)setEnableDebug:(BOOL)flag;

better (more self explanatory) would be
-(BOOL)debugLoggingEnabled;
-(void)setDebugLoggingEnabled:(BOOL)flag;

I guess the alternative convention is something like -
-(void)disableDebugLogging;
-(void)enableDebugLogging;


votes?
