+    The function is similar to @c debug_sync_eval_action but is
+    to be called immediately from the server code rather than 
+    to be triggered by setting a value to DEBUG_SYNC system variable.
+
+  @note
+    The input string is copied prior to be fed to
+    @c debug_sync_eval_action to let the latter modify it.
+
+    Caution.
+    The function allocates in THD::mem_root and therefore
+    is not recommended to be deployed inside big loops.
