    as i said, roughly half of the tracepoints are like this - and some of
    them in functions in frequented places. That's far from "virtually no
    maintainance overhead". In the -rt tree i have never more than a dozen
    static tracepoints, yet even this small amount caused at least 5 extra
    -rt tree iterations due to various breakages (build problems or even
    crashes). Cruft comes in small steps, and my worry is that such
    _unremovable_ markups will be cruft that never shrinks. With dynamic
    tracers i see the _chance_ for cruft to shift to places where it does
    not hurt, if that cruft turns out to become a hindrance.
