This is about tracing the bytecode interpreter. Plus, "by 1" is slightly pedantic :-)

It's probablycertainly just me, but the lack of the plural on "-t" bothers me... does "Trace the execution of the bytecode interpreter (specify multiple times to increase verbosity)" work?

Why no \n at the end of this line? Oh, yes, because you're using this awful puts function :-)

I'm sure I've submitted a patch in the past where the \n was forgotten, but I can't find it!

No, not merging right now, as it contains other bits from other pull requests. This is not friendly to reviewers and mergers. |

Rebased without the #10098 commits with changes - good to go with CI |
Split off from #9284; this requires #10098, so only d2c2f53 needs reviewing
