    Summary: Function Call Tracer
    Description: 
    Creates a function calls debug trace. Functions arguments, returned
    parameters and watched variables are reported in the same section for each
    function call.
    The trace is available as an array, or can be displayed or written in a
    file.
    Traced variables can be processed by provided user functions for
    displaying purposes.
    
    This package is not a replacement for full fledged PHP debuggers. It is
    useful for (1) remote debugging, (2) to debug a complex sequence of
    function calls, (3) to display non text variables in a user readable
    format.
    
    (1) Remote debugging is sometimes the only option to debug a package that
    works fine on your system, e.g. a 32-bit OS, but breaks on a different
    system, e.g. a 64-bit OS, which you have no access to. A remote user who
    has the latter OS could run the package, then send you the trace for
    analysis.
    
    (2) It is sometimes difficult not to loose track of functions calls in
    some live debugging sessions even with top notch PHP editor/debuggers. The
    trace produced by this package may come handy and is easy to use in
    combination with the source code to track calls and variables.
    
    (3) Some variables native format does not always display well, typically:
    packed data and UTF-8 strings. They can be converted as they are being
    traced to a readable format by provided user functions. For example:
    converting binary strings to hexadecimal, or UTF-8 string to Unicode.
    
    Fully tested with phpUnit. Code coverage test close to 100%.
    
    Usage including trace examples is fully documented in docs/examples files.
