The bigger question is: Do we really want to change tracepoints in functions from opt-in to opt-out?
In my opinion, opt-in for trace is more appropriate.
Nonetheless, having a tool to check for tracepoint presence might still be useful for library reviewers and maintainers. And such a tool might be useful for any library, not just the few libraries suggested by this patch.
