He is on the net sometimes, and not on this list and I have to forward
 stuff I think he cares about to him. (jbb@homer.ncm.com)

It is being debugged by him. It works. It does not have the bugs you
 (Brandon) reported. The version you have was older and _alpha_.

I begged for callers() because I wanted to use it in an in-db throw which
 would suspend the eroneous task and notify the debugging programmer about
 the suspended, broken task. This could be extended into something almost
 gdb-like. Just don't use the information as part of the design of a finished
 object.
