Cool.

Of course, this seems to be Linux-only, but still useful.

Does x:+name error out on systems where tracing is not built in, or does
it silently fall back to x:name?

Is the double space intentional?

Is this a one-time error message, printed on first use, or will it
appear on every log message?
