One way you could do it is look at the definition of the function,
which thefunc, and override one of the commands it calls with a
function that prints $funcfiletrace,
echo() { builtin echo $funcfiletrace; builtin echo "$@" } (don't do
this globally of course, just in an interactive shell)
another way is to apply this patch:
http://git.mikachu.zsh.jp/commit/?h=mika&id=225140c2aa029c9f19615c5894c4813a88afca49
and then run whence -F thefunc
