This is currently the way its done in multiple other places. When creating
the "EMe" trick, I've thought about it, but then realized it would make the
other locations look strange without the expected comma, and decided that
EMe() would be the best solution, as it's only strange in where it's added,
and not where its used.

 $ git grep -l EMe include/trace/ |wc -l
     11

It's already used in 11 other files, let's not muck with it now.
