Well I wanted this function to be capable of being called from other contexts
as well, but i never ended up using that way.

If called for different threads, then they will start to be traced, ofcourse
assuming they are not being traced.

Yes sorry I forgot to add this new file.

The thing is this structure is only available from a certain version of the
