 * Sample call:
 *    tracingservice.TraceContext(context, 
 *        includeparentcontext, 
 *        includeattributetypes, 
 *        convertqueries, 
 *        expandcollections,

I've made a minor change at https://gist.github.com/MarkMpn/71fb85fd438e44c9f643595a2a1f86a1 - the workflowcontext isn't used and needs me to bring in an extra dependency on my plugin to compile it.

So true, thanks @MarkMpn!
