Names look fine to me.

Hmm, this looked suspicious.  I'm not seeing why would a
while-stepping action have two body lists.  I guess this
happens to work because trace_dump_actions does nothing
if ACTION is NULL.

string_printf ?

LGTM.

It's a shame that we can't use std::make_shared to avoid
the separate control block allocation.
