systemd-coredump+coredumpctl give you pretty easy access to core

advantage is that a) things are logged and can be easily looked up and
queried, b) you get a lot of metadata like open files, cgroups,
/proc/mountinfo, umask, capability masks, etc., c) a stacktrace is
automatically generated and logged locally, d) old coredumps are
automatically removed, e) you cannot fill your disk with coredumps.
The last two points are crucial for "casual" users, who might want to
have easy access to the occasional crash without expending too much
attention.

The last two points are solved by setting the soft ulimit to 0,
meanwhile systemd-coredump steals away my core dumps and requires
privileged operations to retrieve them.
Also the automatically generated stack traces are wrong.
