It says:

"If the application has no debugger, the system debugger displays the
string. If the application has no debugger and the system debugger is
not active, OutputDebugString does nothing."

The docs for al_trace:

"Outputs a debugging trace message, using a printf() format string given
in ASCII. If you have installed a custom trace handler it uses that, or
if the environment variable ALLEGRO_TRACE is set it writes into the file
specified by the environment, otherwise it writes the message to
"allegro.log" in the current directory. You will usually want to use the
TRACE() macro instead of calling this function directly."


So clearly, the former can't be used for the latter.. so again, any
reason why we should keep it? Or anyone remembers why it was added?
