I'd quite like something a bit more sophisticated, say a number
determining the depth to which xtrace output is shown, with the current
output somewhere in the middle of the scale (so in addition to expanding
indexes you could go the other way and only show e.g. function calls and
block constructs).

But that's a lot of work.
