 * `node.vm.script`: Enables capture of trace data for the `node:vm` module's
   `runInNewContext()`, `runInContext()`, and `runInThisContext()` methods.
 * `v8`: The [V8][] events are GC, compiling, and execution related.

 By default the `node`, `node.async_hooks`, and `v8` categories are enabled.
