I must say upfront that I've only read about dtrace for a couple hours
and asked Gemini a few questions. From that, my understanding is that an
application can generate its own application-specific events that carry
additional data, including strings, int, floats, and so on, structs (not
sure if I believe Gemini in that case, but who knows). (Helmut, please
correct me if that's wrong.)

If that's true, one could include the info needed for a redisplay trace
in the event.

What events to generate for what is of course another question.
