yes for UTIL_TraceHull ; yes and no for UTIL_TraceLine.

The second one also enables you to call TRACE_LINE with an overloaded parameter which is "ignore_glass". You can also call TRACE_LINE with this parameter explicitly (it's 0x100 I think) but you'll agree that it's more readable this way.

*edit* note to Cheeseh: the hook for tracelines is not in UTIL_TraceLine() but in g_engfuncs.pfnTraceLine(). That is not the same thing at all. UTIL_TraceLine() is just a convenient wrapper for the TraceLine engine function call.
