For sure IMO. Maybe not in a hurry to avoid breakages until the whole
tracing infrastructure has settled, but long-term to ease scripting etc.

Still, let's not add this as an old-style monitor command, rather
convert it to the new style, maybe blocking QMP for now. I'll post the
required infrastructure for that blocking along my next device_show
series (hopefully the next days).
