Yeah, from my look at the debug patch, this seems sensible.

As clever as the "debug" ref-backend wrapper object is, I also wonder if
it might be simpler to just add trace calls to all of the outer
functions (e.g., ref_transaction_prepare(), etc). Unlike a "real" OO
system, we're not typically passing around the polymorphic ref_store
type, but always access it through those type-agnostic wrappers. But
maybe that would end up just as long. I dunno.
