... and a gap between no-MD and the MD for some built-in operations. 'Image
and 'Output are two instances of some MD operation which renders a value of
type T1 onto the context of type T2.

Add has too much magic already.

The magic you really need for tracing is source code views, so that you
could see the code with tracing insertions and without them. Usually
tracing is developed ad-hoc as a part of debugging efforts and then
removed, reinserted, removed and so on. It is quite boring. A more managed
approach could be, for each use test, tracing insertions kept separately
from the source code to be used when necessary.
