// Trace events to track application performance.  Events consist of a name
// a type (BEGIN, END or INSTANT), a tracking id and extra string data.
// In addition, the current process id, thread id, a timestamp down to the
// microsecond and a file and line number of the calling location.
//
// The current implementation logs these events into a log file of the form
// trace_<pid>.log where it's designed to be post-processed to generate a
// trace report.  In the future, it may use another mechansim to facilitate
// real-time analysis.
