As discussed in the rest of this thread, that's a pretty short time,
so while I would love to be able to use variadic macros
unconditionally, I think we'd need a different rationale.

That said, I want us to be ready the moment external conditions allow.
Ideally we want it to be as simple as

	git grep --name-only -e HAVE_VARIADIC_MACROS |
	xargs unifdef -m -DHAVE_VARIADIC_MACROS=1

plus removing the #define; is there anything we need to do in advance
to make that work well?  Let's see.

This removes the documentation for these functions and doesn't add it
back on the #else side.  So I think we'd want the following
preparatory patch.

Thanks,

Subject: trace: move comments to variadic macro variant of trace functions

Nowadays compilers not having variadic macros are the exception.  Move
API documentation to the declarations used in the common case.
