[TTRACE-2] Eliminate a few uses of Reflection in tools.trace

There are a few instances of reflection in tools.trace code that can be eliminated with suitable type hints.

[TTRACE-1] Two convenience predicate functions useful for IDE-tools

Sat, 1 Dec 2012 15:38:58 -0600

In our IDE-tool clj-ns-browser, we show the user a list of vars and make it easy to add a trace by selecting a var and clicking a button.

In order to only enable the button for a var that is traceable, we use predicate "var-traceable?".

In order to change the button text from "trace" to "untrace", we use predicate "var-traced?".

Both "var-traceable?" and "var-traced?" are aware of tools.trace internals - ideally, we would like to remain oblivious to trace's inners...

Our implementations for the predicates is at: https://gist.github.com/2472261

Thanks for the great tool!
