The first patch adds include tracking, the second adds variable tracking on top of it. I am a little unsure about some of this. The big design issue I ran into is that I often wanted to specify the name of the variable being passed, but that if I passed a **loginfo containing a 'var' key, this clashed with the positional 'var' parameter. So I changed the name to 'variable'. I also made the inference code smarter; it can guess at variable name and value in common cases, reducing typing. Similarly, there is no longer a need for an explicit 'ignore'; rather, if the keyword dictionary is empty, 'ignore' is assumed. (It can still be specified explicitly if we find an exception, such as a case where we often but not always want to record an operation.) There's a lot of things that could likely be improved with this; my starting point was to make it produce basically the same results as the previous patch set, then clean up the output quite a bit. So reporting on overrides and _append/_prepend overrides is smarter now, output format is cleaned up a bit, and so on. Feedback welcome, as always. There may be some loose ends left over from things I tried and then abandoned; I've tried to catch them all, but the code's all blurred together for me at this point. Sending it out in part because I suspect people might want to mess with this a bit, or give feedback.
