Okay, still don't understand. It seems like your objective in patch 3
is to be able to print things other than "fragment" under various
INTEL_DEBUG=... settings. Wouldn't it be simpler to contain that logic
in the generator using the stage member -- which would be nice to have
for assertions anyway?
