    Hello...

    If I may indulge in a moment of gratuitous self-promotion, I would
    point out that such verb-tracing can be accomplished in a way that
    requires zero overhead, except when actually tracing a verb, by the
    Source-Level Debugger server patch.  All that would be required is to
    suspend a task and call the verb to be traced in the next statement.
    Command-line verbs can then single-step resume the verb in question to
    step-in to the verb to be traced, and then step, step-in, and step-out
    (common features in source-level debuggers) through the verb...

    You can look at the SLD at
