Just want to let everybody know that this can be achieved by using
is_seq_trace as a guard in match specification. It could be used to allow
function trace only when trace token is set, or, to trigger silent mode to
allow/disable further trace messages. See
http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/erts/match_spec.html for details.
