Example:

TRACE=1; LIB "general.lib"; sum(1..100); ==> entering sum (level 0) ==> entering lsum (level 1) ==> entering lsum (level 2) ==> entering lsum (level 3) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 3) ==> entering lsum (level 3) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 3) ==> leaving lsum (level 2) ==> entering lsum (level 2) ==> entering lsum (level 3) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 3) ==> entering lsum (level 3) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 3) ==> leaving lsum (level 2) ==> leaving lsum (level 1) ==> entering lsum (level 1) ==> entering lsum (level 2) ==> entering lsum (level 3) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 3) ==> entering lsum (level 3) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 3) ==> leaving lsum (level 2) ==> entering lsum (level 2) ==> entering lsum (level 3) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 3) ==> entering lsum (level 3) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> entering lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 4) ==> leaving lsum (level 3) ==> leaving lsum (level 2) ==> leaving lsum (level 1) ==> leaving sum (level 0) ==> 5050
