// TracingStatus is a four-point value ordered by
//       illegal < unneeded < unknown < needed
//
// It is used to categorize tracing of fields:
//
//  * illegal  field is invalid/illegal to trace.
//  * unneeded field has type with no traceable fields of its own;
//             it may have an empty trace() method. Not harmful
//             to trace, but not needed.
//  * unknown  initial TracingStatus value.
//  * needed   field is a heap reference or an object containing
//             traceable fields.
//
// Tracing status |illegal| is considered an error; treating |unneeded| also
// as an error would detect and report unnecessary tracing of objects that
// probably don't need to be on the Blink GC heap. However, template use
// and instantiation can leave us with classes that do have empty trace
// methods and no traceable fields -- reporting these as errors/warnings
// wouldn't work. Hence, only consider |illegal| as an error TracingStatus
// state.
