Isn't that a bit too verbose? What about: echo "DEBUG ${SECONDS}s: $*"
Absolute time is useful when cross-checking with e.g. logs. When looking for time thiefes among a dozen lines of output over as many seconds, like I did for these patches, fractions of a second were useful.
By all means, if I ever were to do this again, it'd be easy to add the above then and there.

I see. In that case I won't include this one. It is just too verbose and as you say, the bare seconds are of too little use. Have you tried systemd? It is able to bundle all related logging. Regards, - Jouke
