It's not something I've had to do before.
docs/devel/tracing.txt says "just use the TRACE_FOO_ENABLED
macro", but looking at what it does that doesn't seem to check
the runtime state of the trace event, so maybe those docs are out
of date. Stefan, what's the current best way to guard expensive
computations used only for trace output ?
