For information the pa_trace.ml file (for camlp4 for a pre 3.08
version of ocaml) did exactly what you want to achieve

you might look for POESIA on sourceforge at

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=79887&release_id=1

download the source package http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/poesia/poesiasoft_snapshot_20july2005.tar.gz?download

and look for the pa_trace.ml inside PoesiaMonIcap

this is orphaned software (GPL). I don't maintain it anymore, and I
believe it don't compile as-is on 3.08 because of the location change
in camlp4 since 3.06. Feel free to patch it for your needs.
