Access to the call stack would do that for you. Access to the trace facility 
would do that too, and possibly the var_id's. It's been suggested before, 
RobC said no. See, there's a lot of these so-called oddball suggestions that 
have been suggested, and got nowhere. If you do this, how's the RDS 
licence treat handing out a modified interpreter or exe with a trace facility in
it?
