In reviewing
http://bugs.python.org/issue9282
the issue came up, where is the unit test for trace.py?

test/test_trace.py is actually a test of the line trace facility of 
sys.settrace (and should have been called test_linetrace or 
test_settrace). The only trace import Eli could find in Lib/test is the 
one in regrtest.py for the -T option. Have we missed something?

If you say 'make one', what should be its name? Can the existing file be 
renamed (I gather this can be a bit of a problem)?
