I think your patch is a bit intrusive, disallowing the shorthands is
not the way to go. You are however right that using the masks directly
from the prompt is much easier and as you suggest having both options
will be the best. I hacked this together in the past because I needed
my own debug levels together with the default shorthands provided, if
I can find it somewhere I will post it.
