I don't see why disable() would return data.

disable is indeed a bad name for something that returns data.

Note that I never proposed that disable() return anything, only that it get the trace. It could store it in some specified object, or a file, rather than return it, for example. I deliberately left what it does with the retrieved data unspecified. The important thing to me is that it not be dropped on the floor by something named "disable".
