+#[
+This test illustrates some features of `debugutils` to debug the compiler.
+
+## example
+this shows how to enable compiler logging just for a section of user code,
+without generating tons of unrelated log messages for code you're not interested
+in debugging.
+
+```sh
+# enable some debugging code, e.g. the `when false:` block in `semExpr`
+nim c -o:bin/nim_temp --stacktrace -d:debug -d:nimDebugUtils compiler/nim
+bin/nim_temp c tests/compiler/tdebugutils.nim
+```
+
+(use --filenames:abs for abs files)
