i was thinking of just

    trace.dossier(prepare_diagnostic_information) 

actually. If there is no consumer then this would not call 
the callable. Does that make sense to you? (we could additionally pass 
any remaining arguments to the callable but that might be hard 
to conceptually define nicely).
