Yes, that's a good point. I'll add one to the next revision.
Something like this?


** Trace

*** New commands 'trace-package' and 'trace-regexp' (and their
counterparts 'untrace-package' and 'untrace-regexp') allow for the
bulk tracing of calls to functions with names matching a specified
prefix or regexp.


As there's no info node for trace.el, that could perhaps be a +++
entry; although a grep shows me that "(tramp) Traces and Profiles"
could be amended to change:

     (require 'trace)
     (dolist (elt (all-completions "tramp-" obarray 'functionp))
       (trace-function-background (intern elt)))

to:

     (trace-package "tramp-")


It would be good to add a node to the elisp manual covering trace.el,
but that's not strictly part of this patch.
