This sounds excelent!  Thank you, Felix!

BTW, another request... could you consider making -:r send the trace
output to stderr rather than stdout (or, at least, making a compile
time option to specify where, whether to stdout or to stderr, the
trace output should go)?

Having -:r send everything to stdout makes it impossible to keep the
trace separated from the normal output.  Sending it to stderr makes it
impossible to keep it separated from the error output, but stderr is,
in my experience, less important/used than stdout.

This has already been a problem for me, as I want to see the trace of
a command as it communicates (via stdin/stdout) with its father
process.  I suppose this situation, where you need to make sure the
program continues to send its stdout without noise, is much more
common than requiring the error output to be clean.

Thank you!

Alejo.
