I understand your point. One thing I pushed for initially, dropped because we had bigger fish to fry, and will revisit later, is the idea that you should be able to name everything: not just tests but an individual variant in your data definition, lines of code, etc. And this should be intrinsic to the language. That said, I couldn't see what your post had to do with this concept; if I've missed something, please explain. (As an aside, I believe this -- http://cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Papers/Published/mcskr-dataflow-lang-script-debug-journal/ http://cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Papers/Published/mcskr-... -- generalizes the idea in your tracing post.)
