That phrasing is a little hard to follow.  Perhaps something more like:

... turns off tracing
for any named (not anonymous) function called from the present one, unless
that function also ...

Note I'm also suggesting changing "turns off tracing on" into "turns off
tracing for" to reduce the chances of off/on confusion.  (Further, don't
be afraid to reformat paragraphs if lines get long.)

I've been considering something similar for the zsh/param/private module
to make caller private variables visible inside anonymous functions, but
haven't worked out all the necessary stack management.
