Is it possible to get the current function in a trace function?
I'm trying to subclass `pdb` to have a debugger that, in case of a call to a decorated function, can "step in" the decorated function directly and skip the decorator content altogether. A well-behaved decorator using `@functools.wraps` sets `__wrapped__` attribute on the wrapper to point to the decorated function and `inspect.unwrap` can follow a chain of such decorators.

So, I need access to the function object, but the trace function gives me the `frame` only and I don't know how to get the function object out of it.
