  35    --  an exit call matching each entry call. This means that they can keep
  36    --  track of the current node being worked on, with the entry call setting
  37    --  a new value, by pushing the Node_Id value on a stack, and the exit call
  38    --  popping this value off. Atree.Current_Error_Node is set by both the
  39    --  entry and exit routines to point to the current node so that an abort
  40    --  message indicates the node involved as accurately as possible.

  45    --  depth (depth increases by 1 for a Debug_A_Entry call and is decreased
  46    --  by the corresponding Debug_A_Exit call). Then the string is output
  47    --  (analyzing, expanding etc), followed by the node number and its kind.
  48    --  This output is generated only if the debug A flag is set. If the debug
  49    --  A flag is not set, then no output is generated. This call also sets the
  50    --  Node_Id value in Atree.Current_Error_Node in case a bomb occurs. This
  51    --  is done unconditionally, whether or not the debug A flag is set.

  56    --  by a sequence of bars, followed by the string S, the node number, and
  57    --  a trailing comment (e.g. " (already evaluated)"). This output is
  58    --  generated only if the debug A flag is set. If the debug A flag is not
  59    --  set, then no output is generated. This call also resets the value in
  60    --  Atree.Current_Error_Node to what it was before the corresponding call
  61    --  to Debug_A_Entry.
