there is the HiLinkTrace plugin by Dr. Chip. You can find it on his home
page (http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#HILINKS). It provides
(among others) the :HLT and :HLT! commands. I find the !-variant especially
useful; it shows and updates the highlighting trace and syntax stack on
every cursor movement.

Jürgen
