I'm afraid you can't extend the trace builtin function . Using another function or logging class and then redirecting the trace to some logger console or even the trace() function, if at some point you need it, is the way to go. MTASC handles that trace replacement through a compiler switch, like a preprocessor macro, making textual substitutions to trace calls in the AS.
The thing is that trace function is not compiled into a call to an actionscript function, but it's embedded directly with its own bytcode in the swf. That's why you can't change its behaviour from AS code.
