I keep this at the top of my .zshenv file and uncomment the first line
when I want to debug something:

----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------
#TRACE_ZSH_TIME=t TRACE_ZSH=t TRACE_ZSH_FILE=/tmp/pdp-zsh.$$.log

[[ -n $TRACE_ZSH_PROF ]] && zmodload -i zsh/zprof
[[ -n $TRACE_ZSH_TIME ]] && PS4='+[%D{%M:%S}]%N:%i> '
if [[ -n $TRACE_ZSH ]]; then
        [[ -n "$TRACE_ZSH_FILE" ]] && exec 2> "${TRACE_ZSH_FILE}"
        setopt xtrace
fi
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------

Yes, you lose stderr to a file, I can accept that for the purpose of
this debugging.
