+-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+-- In some debugging scenarios (e.g. when debugging cyclic thunks) it can be very
+-- useful to know which thunks the program is in the process of evaluating.
+-- However, in the case of updateable thunks this can be very difficult
+-- to determine since the process of blackholing overwrites the thunk's
+-- info table pointer.
+--
+-- To help in such situations we provide the -forig-thunk-info flag. This enables
+-- code generation logic which pushes a stg_orig_thunk_info_frame stack frame to
+-- accompany each update frame. As the name suggests, this frame captures the
+-- the original info table of the thunk being updated. The entry code for these
+-- frames has no operational effects; the frames merely exist as breadcrumbs
+-- for debugging.
