Well, stupid example: let's say the user has some document exercising
all the sectioning structures in his documents. We can then do
something like
\makeatletter
\let\@savestartsection\@startsection
\renewcommand\@startsection[6]{\toks@{{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6}}
\errmessage{Sectioncall: \the\toks@}\@savestartsection}
\makeatother
And every section command when called will tell the name under which
it was called (the error message gives the error context, which will
give the responsible command) and all its arguments. If any of those
are counters or whatever (don't know the 6 arguments' meaning by
heart), one can output their definitions and \thecountername and so
on as well.
Then one would have to parse the log file for those special error
messages or other diagnostics.
