Note that I never proposed that disable() *return* anything, only that
it *get* the trace.  It could store it in some specified object, or a
file, rather than return it, for example.  I deliberately left what it
does with the retrieved data unspecified.  The important thing to me
is that it not be dropped on the floor by something named "disable".
