It code-walks the functions and logs all the intermediate results of each step of the code. Just like what a debugger would show you, but after the fact. I guess we really need to explain ourselves better when we officially release this... It’s not just tracing the arguments and return values of the functions (that is what clojure.contrib.trace does).

I guess we really need to explain ourselves better when we officially release this…
