It used to be in the IDE's debugger, but got pulled out with the
script editor redesign. Never could figure out why - it was a useful
feature, so I kept it in PowerDebug. Issuing a "trace" command all by
itself won't do much - it's an undocumented engine message for the
debugger. You need to use several more undocumented commands to
initiate a trace.
