Subject: tracing all accesses to an instance


oh flavor gurus,

i have a question.

yesterday i created a flavor and began using it in my application.
the 8 or so methods that i wrote for it defined the interface
to the rest of my "world".  but then i began using it, and things didn't
work right, and because i couldn't be sure the rest of my "world"
was making calls to my instance in the proper order, and with the
proper arguments, i set about trying to "trace" all accesses to it.

unfortunately the function TRACE expects some kind of valid function
object...fair enough.  then i remembered that the function APPLY and
hence FUNCALL allow flavor instances to be used in place of other
valid function objects.  so it tried

(eval `(trace ,*instance*))

but to no eval.

i still assume this can be accomplished somehow.  can anybody help?

thanks,
frank
