Cancel last call to off().

Calls to off() and on() has to be done in pairs (first off() then on()). These pairs can be nested.

Example:

int i = 0;
Debug( libcw_do.off() );
Dout( dc::notice, "Adding one to " << i++ );
Debug( libcw_do.on() );
Dout( dc::notice, "i == " << i );

Outputs:

NOTICE : i == 0

Note that the statement i++ was never executed.
