COMPILE_OPTION {SQLITE_ENABLE_TREE_EXPLAIN} {
  This option adds support for the [SQLITE_TESTCTRL_EXPLAIN_STMT] test-control
  in the SQLite core.  When the [command-line shell] is also compiled with
  this option, the ".explain" dot-command enables a mode that uses the
  [SQLITE_TESTCTRL_EXPLAIN_STMT] interface to display an ASCII-art diagram
  of the parse tree for each SQL query statement that is run in the shell.
  This mechanism is useful for debugging the SQLite parser and code
  generator.  This whole mechanism is highly experimental and could change
  drastically or be eliminated in future releases of SQLite.
