Introduce FRAME_SCOPED_DEBUG_ENTER_EXIT and use it to print enter/exit
messages in important frame-related functions.  I think this helps
understand which lower-level operations are done as part of which
higher-level operation.  And it helps visually skip over a higher-level
operation you are not interested in.
