      [The original bug report cited that Runtime.traceMethodCalls() is not
      implemented. It is implemented in java_g, but in 1.2 we do not
      ship _g files any more. See also evaluation.]

      It would be nice if the JDK from JavaSoft actually implemented the
      java.lang.Runtime.traceMethodCalls(boolean)
      method.

      This would aid in debugging and system performance enhancements.

      Additonal information from user, 1997-09-04

      I have to apologize for submitting that the traceMethodCalls
      should be implemented. We just noticed that the java_g, the non-optimized
      java interpreter, does implement Runtime :: traceMethodCalls.

      Please make sure that this does continue in subsequent JDK releases.
      You may want to add some more obvious documentation explaining what
      java_g can be used for.
