I think it'd be better spliting this into 3 parts: add hist_elt_data,
pass tracing_map_elt to hist field func and add var ref logic.

Hmm.. I'm confused whether this list maintains reference of variable
or defintion (or both?). It seems an entry is added only by
save_hist_vars() which is for definition. But find_any_var_ref()
looks it up for references.. What am I missing?
Also I think it'd be better keeping this list for each instance rather
than globally.

Please remove this.
