While we're on the subject, now's a good time to mention something
that is on my plate.

Tracepoints suck at collecting c++ data (e.g., what a pretty-printer
would need).
The canonical solution that occurs to me is to do it in python (allow
one to specify what to collect for particular types).
The compiler knows how c++ classes are laid out, but there is still
some intelligence that goes into knowing or optimizing what to
collect.
Plus one would want (I think) the code to live with the pretty-printer
- easier to maintain.

These are just ideas for discussion.
I haven't gone too far down this path.
