I'm not sure we can restrict usage only to debugging.

Hi,

I'd like to be able to enable allocation tracing as early as possible.  I've attached a patch that I use to do that when I'm debugging code that I don't know very well.

The way I use it is like this:

  $ ruby -robjspace/trace_start some_test.rb

I like using this because many times I can't figure out when to enable object tracing.  Can we add this feature to object space?
