+<blockquote>
+There hasn't been much discussion on this one, probably because the
+functionality and use cases are so specific. I'm not really convinced by
+your examples.
+For the purpose of printing debug logs, using an engine-provided depth is
+non-ideal, because any intermediate helper functions will count towards the
+depth. Tracking your own depth will result in a more meaningful/predictable
+output.
+For tracking down infinite recursion, isn't this what the xdebug recursion
+limit is for? You'll directly get your recursive stack trace, which should
+make it obvious where the infinite recursion occurs. Using
+debug_backtrace_depth() for this purpose means that you actually already
+need to know where you are infinitely recursing in order to place the guard.
+If you want to find places where your code would hit the xdebug recursion
+limit, then why not run it under xdebug and find out, rather than trying to
+simulate the same behavior manually? That again requires that you actually
+place relevant guards in the first place, which makes this another chicken
+and egg problem.
