The default is now to give a default name to instance, if no one has
been provided. Which mean calling several time --debug will always
address the same instance. You now also got the possibility to name
instance:

prelude-lml --debug --debug myinstancename --debug -p --debug myinstancename -p

will result in:
- create an instance of debug named "default"
- create an instance of debug named "myinstancename"
- will set the -p option on instance "default"
- will set the -p option on instance "myinstancename".

This should be much more user friendly...
