Just got around to reading this. What an awesome article! I had no idea
of these options. I always reach for good-old printf.
Would it make sense to put some mixins into Phobos/druntime for use in
tracing, at least for the debug version of the library? Or have a
parallel traceable version of the library?

Thank you!
These mixins are trivial in fact and can be easily added/removed to
DRuntime. But they are platform/OS specific (x86_64/Linux) so imo better
would be to add tracing capabilities for other platforms, summarize it
all and then develop some _crossplatform_ tracing framework for D.
