Not being a user who writes multi-threaded ooRexx programs, I have
remained silent until now. However, it seems to me that there are
enough objections to the proposal that would add this to TRACE that we
should consider alternatives. I appreciate the need for the information
and the work done both by Jean-Louis and Rony but perhaps this is better
provided as a stand alone package in the Incubator similar to ooSQLite.
Then those that need the information that this package supplies could
retrieve the package and add the appropriate ::requires directive(s) to
their program. I understand this will require some redesign and may
still need additions to the interpreter to expose the needed data to an
external package but I think we should consider going this route as I do
not see a compromise that will satisfy everyone. Just my 2 opinion for
what its worth. Gil

Thanks for the multiple examples!
As for the 'spaced out' case (excerpt below) ... this really would
not work for me. I often have 5-9 windows open when I'm
programming and these are 80 characters wide so I can minimise
overlaps. With the suggested layout this would only work for
programs less than ~40 characters wide! Here's how the excerpt
looks for me (and this example has very short lines -- most of my
programs use 72 or more characters per line for better commentary):
---> mt91.rex_nr_1_via_JSR223
R1 T1 A1 3 *-* t=.Test~new
R1 T1 A2 V1 1* 21 *-* say "arrived in:" .context~name
arrived in: INIT
R1 T1 A2 V1 1* 22 *-* counter=0
R1 T1 A1 >>> "a TEST"
R1 T1 A1 4 *-* t~m1
R1 T1 A3 V1 1* 27 *-* counter+=1 --
increase counter
R1 T1 A3 V1 1* 28 *-* say "arrived in:" .context~name
"before reply"
Almost any line of any length will wrap. That's why the trace
headers in Rexx are kept as short as feasible. Adding an
unexplained 27 characters on the front of each line makes little
sense, especially as the information is the same on most lines,
and as I mentioned before is not user-friendly (here I mean 'user'
as being a writer of Rexx programs, not someone who runs a Rexx
program without looking at it or caring which language it is
written in).
