DESCRIPTION

API

       debug caller ?args...?
              This method is useful in a tag-specific prefix to automatically provide caller information for all
              uses of the tag. Or in a message, when only specific places need such detail.

              Beyond  that  it  recognizing  the various internal forms of method calls generated by the snit OO
              system and rewrites these to their original form, for better readability.  Similarly for TclOO.

              If args are specified then they are treated as the integer indices of  command  arguments  to  not
              show in the output. The referenced arguments are replaced by * instead.  The main anticipiated use
              case for this is the exclusion of arguments expected to contain large Tcl values, i.e. long lists,
              large dictionaries, etc. to prevent them from overwhelming the narrative.
