Can I override the Javascript Function object to log all function calls?

by

The obvious answer is something like the following:

var origCall = Function.prototype.call;
Function.prototype.call = function (thisArg) {
    console.log("calling a function");

    var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1);
    origCall.apply(thisArg, args);
};

But this actually immediately enters an infinite loop, because the very act of calling console.log executes a function call, which calls console.log, which executes a function call, which calls console.log, which…

Point being, I’m not sure this is possible.
