So in terms of `trace.py', it is a widely useful tool and already has a 
programmatic interface.  Being added to the hallowed Python Standard Library 
would be a major step up in publicity and hence usage.  It would require 
better docs regarding the programmatic usage.

Anything else that would be required for trace to make this transition?
