/**
* A DebugTrace is used to record debug trace statements, based on the current
* option settings in a corresponding {@link DebugOptions} class. The trace implementation
* will automatically insert additional contextual information such as the bundle, class,
* and method performing the tracing.
*
* Trace statements may be written to a file, or onto standard output, depending on
* how the {@link DebugOptions} is configured (See {@link DebugOptions#setFile(java.io.File)}).
*
*
* All methods on this class have an optional option
argument.
* When specified, this argument will cause the tracing to be conditional on the value
* of {@link DebugOptions#getBooleanOption(String, boolean)}, where the bundle's
* symbolic name will automatically be prepended to the provided option string. For example,
* if your bundle symbolic name is "com.acme.bundle", and you provide an option argument
* of "/debug/parser", the trace will only be printed if the option "com.acme.bundle/debug/parser"
* has a value of "true".
*
*
* Note that the pipe character ("|") is reserved for internal use. If this character
* happens to occur in any of the thread name, the option, the message or an Exception
* message, it will be escaped to the corresponding HTML representation ("|").
*
*
* @since 3.5
* @noimplement This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
* @noextend This interface is not intended to be extended by clients.
