Explaining in order to be able to understand how to use it is always a winning strategy. Now, it is indeed true that I had to find the doc buried deep in the Wayback Machine and convert it to the wiki myself...

Yes, indeed. This is the exact issue I am facing with PromisesLocal, 
providing a good explanation of its operation. What is the link to the 
Toothpick wiki page? I found the SqueakSource project with some 
documentation: http://www.squeaksource.com/Toothpick.html.

I believe Toothpick uses Aspects, so in this regard it may be easier to 
add Logging to some code, than with TraceMonitor.

In TraceMonitor one must start monitoring by sending 'traceMonitor 
monitor: mainObject', there after the mainObject can send 'mainObject 
monitor: subObject' and so on, to allow subObjects to send #etrace:msg: 
and be monitored...my paltry documentation, here. :/
