Looking good. And I've wanted these commands both times I've had a need 
to use trace.el.

This patch could probably use a NEWS entry, though.

I'm not 100% sure about the protocol here, but including both "-is-" and 
"-p" in a function name seems too much.

So maybe you should do the opposite and rename trace-is-traceable-p to 
trace-is-traceable.
