More information it not better.  The optimal amount of information is the "minimal needed
information" when troubleshooting.  Extraneous information simply reduces the signal to
noise ratio.  And this opinion is a strong one I hold, established by doing this for 30
years, 40 hours a week.


I don't see how this can be done conditionally compiled, without a lot of noise at the
conditional compile points.


BTW, can you add my grandmother's maiden name to the output?  Somebody might need that.
