I've updated trace.ijs in the jsoftware/general_misc github repository.

This update addresses a problem with trace where tracing sentences
which contained user defined names would throw errors.

That said, the version of trace distributed through the pacman system
is currently not updated to contain this version of the library (nor
the previous version of the library). I'm not quite certain how that
side of things is meant to function.

Also note that the mention of trace.ijs in
https://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dicte.htm refers to the
currently unreachable svn repository.

In current versions of J, (load'trace') is sufficient to load the
facility and (trace'1+1') would then trace execution of that sentence
(though, granted, for most users this will be an older version which
has some issues which make it less useful than it ought to be).

I think that the trace implementation can be useful for people
learning the language, so it would be good if it were working
properly.

Thanks,
