+If this primitive parameter is $>0$, and \type{\tracingmacros}$\,>0$,

+more importantly, each relevant log line is given a prefix beginning
+with \type{~}, either followed by a \type{.} character for each
+expansion level or only another \type{~} if the expansion was truncated.
+For example:
+
+\starttyping

+~~\a
+\stoptyping
+
+Thus, the expansion of \type{\b} is logged normally, with the addition
+of the \type{~.} prefix. The expansion of \type{\a} is truncated
+(level~2), hence neither the parameters nor body expansion are shown.
+
+Furthermore, an \type{\input} file counts as an expansion level, and the
+input filename is logged. So, if we add this to our example above:
+\starttyping
+\input anotherfile
+\stoptyping
+
+where \type{anotherfile.tex} simply contains \type{\b2}, the log will
+get:
+
+\starttyping

+~~\b
+~~\a
+\stoptyping
+
+Now the \type{\b} expansion is not logged either, since the expansion
+depth is higher than the \type{\tracingstacklevels} value.
+
+The intended use of \type{\tracingstacklevels} is not so much to
+truncate logging as to indicate the expansion levels for detailed
+debugging. Thus normally it would be set to a large number
+(\type{\maxdimen}, say), so that everything is fully logged, with the
+addition of the expansion level indication with the number of dots in
