        Without EXPR, returns "$line $filename".  With EXPR, returns
        "$line $subroutine $filename"; this extra information can be used to
        provide a stack trace.
    
        The value of EXPR indicates how many call frames to go back before the
        current one; the top frame is frame 0.
    
        Exit Status:
        Returns 0 unless the shell is not executing a shell function or EXPR
        is invalid.
