[New-bugs-announce] [issue31389] Give pdb.set_trace() an optional `header` keyword argument

[Barry A. Warsaw]

New submission from Barry A. Warsaw:

IPython has a neat little feature where the function that enters the debugger takes an optional `header` argument.  If given, it is a string that's printed to the console just before the debugger is entered.

I kind of realized this would be nice to have in pdb, and the code is easy so here's the tracking issue.
