It's not really usable in practise, at least the last time I looked at
it. It's cumbersome to enable log messages based on their line numbers
and line numbers change so you can't really make any scripts to help
with that. And enabling log messages on the file level is sometimes too
much. So it would really need some sort of grouping feature with a
stable interface.
