 * @summary Detects loops using `TraceInformation`
 * @description
 *
 * Uses the procedures outlined in ITU Recommendation X.518, Section 15.4 to
 * detect loops through the use of `TraceInformation` taken from
 * `ChainingArguments`.
 *
 * @param traceItems The trace items detailing the history of distributed
 *  operations as they travel between DSAs.
 * @returns {boolean} `true` if a loop was detected; `false` if one was not.
 *
 * @deprecated This is not a good implementation and will not detect DSA or
 *  target object names that differ by a single byte. Write your own.
