feature(specialization) as currently implemented in nightly Rust is known to be unsound.

Furthermore, using specialization for Trace was also forcing any downstream crate that implements Trace to itself enable feature(specialization). This made turning on the nightly crate feature a backwards-incompatible change that violates additivity of features, and would cause compilation problems under feature unification.

Fixes #128.
