trace.out, I miss you

[gusl]

I miss having a library that supports tracing the execution at varying levels of detail... so that when you run the program, you can set the dial anywhere between "verbose" and "silent" and/or press some buttons regarding what always/never prints... without resulting in awful-looking code.

An added benefit is that if you always use trace.out rather than the direct system call (System.out), you never waste time searching for the line that's printing something.

There's also log4j (java) and log4net (.net/c#)

well, for Java I have trace.out. I've been wanting something similar for Matlab.
