i'll do that, soon (i've run out of time, today).

(incidentally, did my rant about `backtrace' make sense to anyone, and
if so, might it be feasible to fix it?  my model is python's exception
mechanism, which enables you to obtain the backtrace of an error at
the point that the exception is caught, which is an extremely valuable
introspection tool for debugging and executive operation...)
