    use Class::Method::Debug ':tracer';
    enable_scalar_tracer('last_name');
    enable_scalar_tracer('first_name', 'Hikaru');

The first tracer is run every time a new value is set using the C<last_name()>
accessor. The second tracer is run every time the C<first_name()> accessor is
used to set the attribute to C<Hikaru>. So:

    $obj->last_name('Shindou');    # triggers stack trace
    $obj->last_name;               # no stack trace

    $obj->first_name('Hikaru');    # triggers stack trace
    $obj->first_name('Akira');     # no stack trace
    $obj->first_name;              # no stack trace

=head2 enable_hash_tracer

Takes as a mandatory argument an accessor name and enables a tracer on that
accessor that prints a stack trace every time a value is set using the
accessor. The accessor is expected to be for a hash attribute. If you pass an
optional second argument, the stack trace will only be printed if that hash
key is being set. If you pass an optional third argument, the stack trace will
only be printed if the value being set on that hash key is (string) equal to
that argument.

This function is exported either by direct request or via the C<:tracer> tag.

Examples:

    use Class::Method::Debug ':tracer';
    enable_hash_tracer('config');
    enable_hash_tracer('address', 'zip');
    enable_hash_tracer('header', 'to', 'foo@bar.com');

The first tracer is run every time any hash value is set using the C<config()>
accessor. The second tracer is run every time the C<aaddress()> accessor is
used to set the C<zip> key. The third tracer is run every time the C<header()>
accessor is used to set the C<to> key to C<foo@bar.com>. So:

    $obj->config(foo => 'bar');    # triggers stack trace
    $obj->config;                  # no stack trace

    $obj->address(zip => 1080);      # triggers stack trace
    $obj->address(country => 'AT');  # no stack trace
    $obj->address;                   # no stack trace

    $obj->header(to   => 'foo@bar.com');      # triggers stack trace
    $obj->header(to   => 'baz@flurble.com');  # no stack trace
    $obj->header(from => 'foo@bar.com');      # no stack trace
    $obj->header;                             # no stack trace

=head2 print_stacktrace

Makes the stack trace, beautifies it, drops the frame from the tracer itself
and warns it.
