Echo all commands to stdout, as they are being executed.
This can be valuable for debugging test failures, as the last echoed command
will be the one which has failed.
+ :program:`lit` normally inserts a no-op command (``:`` in the case of bash)
+ with argument ``'RUN: at line N'`` before each command pipeline, and this
+ option also causes those no-op commands to be echoed to stdout to help you
+ locate the source line of the failed command.
This option implies ``--verbose``.
