one can set enterstep calls on next

   proc CALL args {puts "CALL $args"}
   proc EXIT args {puts "EXIT $args"}
   trace add execution next enterstep CALL
   trace add execution next leavestep EXIT

and maybe add these two traces in the filter once on the first call (e.g.
controlled via a global variable).

Alternatively, one could define a "proc n args {next}", register the traces
on it and use in the filter "set r [n]" instead of "set r [next]". In
this case multiple
filter registrations are not a problem.

It is as well possible to register enterstep on the object/class names,
   trace add execution b1 enterstep CALL
   trace add execution b1 leavestep EXIT
but there you might get as well too much output.
