You can always continue the trace with +C, so what's
the big deal?

Still, might be a useful option for long traces. But when
I'm modelling scenes and experimenting with lighting, I
hit run and stop several times, and clicking on a "yeah, stop
the trace" everytime could get annoying.

Just my 2 cents worth.
