Pants

Q23: Is there a way to display/visualize what rules are executed in what order when running a `./pants` goal?

Thanks for the pointer. Though I have a minor error...

reading the dot file reveals that the node text is toooo long;;

yea, the `graph.NNN.dot` entries are only useful for fairly small usecases, unfortunately.

increasing the log level will dump more information (i.e. `-ldebug`), but Pants also supports streaming information about workunits as they start and stop, and so plugins can render very, very detailed information
