Enabling allocation tracing as early as possible

Description
Hi,
I'd like to be able to enable allocation tracing as early as possible. I've attached a patch that I use to do that when I'm debugging code that I don't know very well.
The way I use it is like this:
$ ruby -robjspace/trace_start some_test.rb
I like using this because many times I can't figure out when to enable object tracing. Can we add this feature to object space?
Files
Matz has no objection (except file name).
I have 2 concerns.
(1) file name
We alraedy have tracer.rb.
How about objspace/allocation_tracer.rb?
(not clear?)
(2) including ObjectSpace
Should not include.
How about objspace/allocation_tracer.rb?
I think that is fine.
Should not include.
Any reason why not? Usually I don't know where to include it while I'm debugging, and doing ObjectSpace.allocation_sourcefile
is a lot to type. If including isn't an option, could we add shorter method names?

I'm not sure we can restrict usage only to debugging.
