Yes, see for example directory_files_internal_unwind and its usage in
dired.c.

It tells unbind_to how much of the unwind-protect stack to unwind.
See the definition of unbind_to in eval.c.

It's an array used for manually managed stack for tracking unwinds and
other stuff by the Emacs Lisp machine. See the comments for 'union
specbinding', starting at line 3135 of lisp.h.
