Debugging functions should throw warnings
The function Debug.Trace.trace is useful for debugging, however, we don't want this function to be present in production code. An excerpt from Debug.Trace explains why:
The 'trace' function should /only/ be used for debugging, or for monitoring
execution. The function is not referentially transparent: its type indicates
that it is a pure function but it has the side effect of outputting the
trace message.
It would be useful if the compiler threw warnings when such functions are used.
