Announcing a new utility: 'trace'

I disagree with your comment about the argument names which are very useful IMHO:
1) if you have an unfamiliar function, the argument names (if well chosen) can help a lot grasp what the function does.
2) if you're debugging, it helps catching a very common programming mistake: putting the argument in the wrong order (which is only caught by the compiler when the arguments types are incompatible).
