description:
make(1): describe how Parse_Error might print stack traces

In deeply nested include chains and .for loops this may be a useful
feature.  It's a little tricky to generate an intuitive stack trace,
though not impossible.  This explanation also serves as a detailed
documentation about how the .include and .for directives are
implemented.

+/* The include chain of makefiles that leads to curFile.  At the bottom of
+ * the stack is the top-level makefile from the command line, and on top of
+ * this file, there are the included files or .for loops, up to but excluding
+ * curFile.
+ *
+ * This data could be used to print stack traces on parse errors.  As of
+ * 2020-09-14, this is not done though.  It seems quite simple to print the
+ * tuples (fname:lineno:fromForLoop), from top to bottom.  This simple idea is
+ * made complicated by the fact that the .for loops also use this stack for
+ * storing information.
+ *
+ * The lineno fields of the IFiles with fromForLoop == TRUE look confusing,
+ * which is demonstrated by the test 'include-main.mk'.  They seem sorted
+ * backwards since they tell the number of completely parsed lines, which for
+ * a .for loop is right after the terminating .endfor.  To compensate for this
+ * confusion, there is another field first_lineno pointing at the start of the
+ * .for loop, 1-based for human consumption.
+ *
+ * To make the stack trace intuitive, the entry below the first .for loop must
+ * be ignored completely since neither its lineno nor its first_lineno is
+ * useful.  Instead, the topmost .for loop needs to be printed twice, once
+ * with its first_lineno and once with its lineno.
+ *
+ * As of 2020-09-15, using the above rules, the stack trace for the .info line
+ * in include-subsub.mk would be:
+ *
+ *     curFile:        include-subsub.mk:4
+ *                     (lineno, from an .include)
+ *     includes[4]:    include-sub.mk:32
+ *                     (lineno, from a .for loop below an .include)
+ *     includes[4]:    include-sub.mk:31
+ *                     (first_lineno, from a .for loop, lineno == 32)
+ *     includes[3]:    include-sub.mk:30
+ *                     (first_lineno, from a .for loop, lineno == 33)
+ *     includes[2]:    include-sub.mk:29
+ *                     (first_lineno, from a .for loop, lineno == 34)
+ *     includes[1]:    include-sub.mk:35
+ *                     (not printed since it is below a .for loop)
+ *     includes[0]:    include-main.mk:27
