REQUEST: start/end variable logging

[Patrick Hogan]

The trace function is a handy tool, however, it gives quite a bit of
information. It would be nice to have a simpler start/end variable
trace that logs each variable one at a time

For example:

$start = array_keys(get_defined_vars());

$end = array_keys(get_defined_vars());

$log_variables = array_diff($start, $end)

foreach($log_variables as $log_variable)
$console->log($log_variable);

This needs work, I understand. But the point is instead of adding
10-20 separate log statements in a section of code, you could just
have one start/end. This is different from trace(); because in many
PHP frameworks that globally load numerous functions, the trace output
can become muddy when quickly looking for a certain variable value.
