I attempted to (trace *) and (trace +).  After the second trace, regardless of
what order, MIT Scheme version 7.1.0 freezes (I think it goes into a loop of
infinite garbage collecting).  I read a previous note 
explaining what "automagically impurifying" means, but am now wondering why it
is only possible to "automagically impurify" one object at a time.  
Any info will be greatly appreciated.
