Ooh.  Tough one.

The only thing that's missing is to have this clearly documented in
tutorials.  (Maybe level 2, once you've learned the basics).

And if that's too hard for you, you can still use print("HERE!").  But
why sweat the "productivity loss" of the two parens when robust logging
is really that easy, and can be turned on or off at one place?
