"""
Have all your function & method calls automatically logged, in indented outline
form - unlike the stack snapshots in an interactive debugger, it tracks call
structure & stack depths across time!

It hooks into all function calls that you specify, and logs each time they're
called.  I find it especially useful when I don't know what's getting called
when, or need to continuously test for state changes.  (by hacking this file)

Originally inspired from the python cookbook: 
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/198078

Currently you can
 - tag functions or individual methods to be autologged
 - tag an entire class's methods to be autologged
 - tag an entire module's classes and functions to be autologged

TODO:
 - allow tagging of ALL modules in the program on startup?

CAVEATS:
 - certain classes barf when you logclass() them -- most notably,
   SWIG-generated wrappers, and perhaps others.

USAGE: see examples on the bottom of this file.


Viewing tips
============

If your terminal can't keep up, try xterm or putty, they seem to be highest
performance.  xterm is available for all platforms through X11...

Also try:    (RunChandler > log &); tail -f log

Also, you can  "less -R log"  afterward and get the colors correct.

If you have long lines, less -RS kills wrapping, enhancing readability. Also
can chop at formatAllArgs().

If you want long lines to be chopped realtime, try piping through less::

   RunChandler | less -RS

but then you have to hit 'space' lots to prevent chandler from freezing.
less's 'F' command is supposed to do this correctly but doesn't work for me.
