I'm currently trying to wrap my tired brain around the trace module :-)
It's deceptively simple if you look just at the number of LOC. I'll
play with it and I'll try to use it in the py library, so that we can
eat our own dog food. This will be a good way of seeing what's still
needed etc. Anyway, thanks for putting this together, for me personally
it's a tutorial in using less obvious features of Python....
