There couple articles in FD and it was discussed on c.l.f. in the past too.
So, you're not delusional ... ;-)

These two are likely the articles you remember:
V05N2 "Tracer for Colon Definitions" by Rieks Joosten
V06N5 "An Augmented TRACE" by Andreas Goppold

This article has a tracer too:
V11N5 "Developing a Step Trace" by Chester H. Page
