but this is only hiding it syntactically, hence the same 
parameter-access side-effect remains - while in the dynamic probe case 
the variable is accessed within the probe - so the true effect on the 
callsite is different. But, in terms of having access to the 
information, you (and Karim) are right that the static tracer can access 
it too.
