Hi Tim!
I do not know the answer to your question, but I noticed something else:
trace-calls-to-procedure returns a procedure. That procedure and its
return value can be applied infinitely, it seems:
~~~~
scheme@(guile-user)> (import (system vm trace))
scheme@(guile-user)> (define (sqr x)
(* x x))
scheme@(guile-user)> (trace-calls-to-procedure sqr)
$1 = #<procedure 7f25860f4e80 at system/vm/traps.scm:599:6 (#:optional frame)>
scheme@(guile-user)> ((trace-calls-to-procedure sqr) 9)
$2 = #<procedure 7f25861ac1c0 at system/vm/traps.scm:596:8 (#:optional frame)>
scheme@(guile-user)> (((trace-calls-to-procedure sqr) 9))
$3 = #<procedure 7f2586624660 at system/vm/traps.scm:599:6 (#:optional frame)>
scheme@(guile-user)> ((((trace-calls-to-procedure sqr) 9)))
$4 = #<procedure 7f25861e9280 at system/vm/traps.scm:596:8 (#:optional frame)>
scheme@(guile-user)>
~~~~
Not sure if that helps :D
