Putting in calls to arbitrary functions just before and just after a
probe handler is easy.

It would be most straightforward for the translator to call an entry &
exit function unconditionally, that is regardless of whether a probe
handler contains any actual trace/print calls.  In this case, the
runtime code may have to make some extra effort to optimize the "null"
case where a probe handler has no trace/print calls.
