+=head2 Effects of debug mode
+
+On older versions of L<Catalyst> (prior to version 5.90070) debug mode would
+enable verbose application level logging (for example when starting in debug
+you get the startup information at the console regarding loaded models,
+controllers, etc. as well as additional request / response tracing.
+It would also enable the default debugging error page that gives you error
+details and a stack track.
+
+On newer versions of L<Catalyst> we have a new application tracing
+system. See L</Tracing> for details. In general trace replaces
+debug, although trace will honor debug if debug is set. However the
+debug switch still controls whether or not you see the detailed
+error default page or the 'production' error debug. This will at
+some point be clarified.
+
+Setting debugging (as well as trace) will also enable stats collection.

+=head1 TRACING
+
+B<NOTE> Tracing replaces the functionality of L<Debug>. For now both
+interfaces will be supported but it is suggested that you become familiar with
+the new interface and begin using it.
+
+Application tracing is debugging information about the state of your L<Catalyst>
+application and a request / response cycle. This is often used when you want a
+peek into the 'Catalyst Black Box' without needing to actually hack into the
+core code and add debugging statements. Examples of application tracing include
+startup information about loaded plugins, middleware, models, controllers and
+views. It also includes details about how a request is dispatched (what actions
+in what controllers are hit, and approximately how long each took) and how a
+response is generated. Additional trace information includes details about errors
+and some basic statistics on your running application.
+
+It is often the case when running an application in a development environment
+for development purposes that you will enable tracing to assist you in your work.
+However, application tracing is not strictly tied to environment so trace levels
+are not automatically enabled based on any environment settings (although you are
+allowed to set trace levels via configuration, which can be environment specific,
+if you choose so).
+
+Application tracing is also not the same thing as logging. Logging is custom messages
+that you've added to your custom application for the purposes of better understanding
+your application and how effective your application is in achieving its goals.
+Often logging is extended, unstructured meta data around your core business logic
+such as details about when a user account is created or failed to be created, what
+types of validation issues are occuring in your forms, page views, user engagement
+and timestamps to help you understand your application performance. Basically this
+is often information of business value that doesn't cleanly or meaningfully fit
+into a database. Catalyst provides an interface for adding various kinds of
+Loggers which can assist you in these tasks. Most Loggers allow one to log
+messages at different levels of priority, such as debug, warning, critical, etc.
+This is a useful feature since it permits one to turn the logging level down in
+high traffic environments. In the past Catalyst tracing (previously called
+'Debug') was conflated with log levels of debug, in that in order to enable
+application tracing (or debugging) one was required to turn log level debug on
+globally. Additionally, the Catalyst application tracing (or debugging) used
+the defined logger to 'record' its messages. Neither is ideal since it leads
+one to be forced to accept more logging than may be wished, and it also does
+not allow one to separate development tracing from application debug logging.
+
+Application tracing fixes this issues by allowing you to turn on tracing
+independently of setting your log level. It also lets you define a trace
+log message handler separately from your logger. So for example you might
+wish to send trace messages to STDOUT, but send your logging to Elasticsearch.
+Here's an example:
+
+ package MyApp;
+
+ use Catalyst;
+
+ __PACKAGE__->trace_level(1);
+ __PACKAGE__->trace_logger(sub { my $class = shift; ...});
+ __PACKAGE__->setup;
+
+You may also configure tracing via configuration:
+
+ package MyApp;
+
+ use Catalyst;
+
+ __PACKAGE__->config({
+ trace_level => 1,
+ trace_logger => sub { my $class = shift; ...},
+ });
+
+ __PACKAGE__->setup;
+
+B<IMPORTANT> You cannot set tracing via configuration files if you are using
+the L<Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader> plugin, as that plugin is loaded too
+late for it to be applied during all phases of setup.
+
+Or, you may set tracing via environment varables, for example:
+
+ CATALYST_TRACE=1 perl script/myapp_server.pl
+ MYAPP_TRACE=1 perl script/myapp_server.pl
+ MYAPP_TRACE=1=/var/log/traces perl script/myapp_server.pl
+
+The order of precidence is that custom application environment variables
+('MYAPP_TRACE') come first, followed by global environment variables
+('CATALYST_TRACE'), followed by configuration settings and lastly application
+defaults.
+
+For backwards compatiblity, we respect classic Catalyst debugging (L<Debug>) in
+the following way. If debugging is true, we automatically set
+C<trace_level=1> and set the C<trace_logger> to your the debug method of your
+defined log object (basically it works just as described in L<Debug>). In this
+case $c->debug will also be set to true.
+
+Please note that if you set C<trace_level> but not debugging then debugging
+($c->debug) will NOT be set to true.
+
+Please note that if you set BOTH trace_level and 'class' debugging, your trace
+level and trace configuation is respected at a high priority, however the state
+of the debug method will be set as requested (although overridden). This is
+done for backcompatibility with applications that overloaded the debug method
+in custom applications.
+
+Please note that when setting trace levels via environment, you may use an
+extended form of the value, which opens a filehandled to a specified path
+and sends all trace information there:
+
+ MYAPP_TRACE=1=/var/log/traces perl script/myapp_server.pl
+
+This would override any other settings for L<\trace_logger>. I
+
+=head2 trace_level
+
+This is a number that defaults to 0. It indicates the level of application
+tracing that is desired. Larger numbers indicate greater level of tracing.
+Currently trace levels are defined, although at this time respect is limited,
+as this is a new feature.
+
+Levels 1,2 and 3 are reserved for Catalyst core code (code that is part of the
+L<Catalyst> distribution).
+
+Levels 4,5 and 6 are reserved for Catalyst extended ecosystem (Catalyst plugins,
+models, views and distributions under the CatalystX namespace).
+

+=head2 trace_logger
+
+This handles a trace message, if it is determined that one should be sent based
+on the running L<\trace_level>. This can accept the following values
+
+=over 4
+
+=item a CodeRef
+
+This is a code reference that gets the application class (your Catalyst.pm
+subclass) as argument0, the message as argument1 and the level as argument3.
+The message is expected to be a string. For example:
+
+ __PACKAGE__->trace_logger( sub {
+ my ($app, $message, $level) = @_;
+ $app->log->debug($message);
+ });
+
+Would send trace messages to the debug log handler (This is currently the
+default behavior).
+
+=item A Filehandle or Object
+
+This must be an open filehandle setup to received output. We really
+just look for a 'print' method, so strictly speaking this could be
+any object that satisfies the duck type.
+
+=item A String
+
+A path that be be resolved as a file that we open a filehandle to.
