Again, I think you misunderstand the purpose of the VM interface. It
does not exist to provide handy or convenient methods to use in your own
code, it simply tries to define the absolute minimum that GNU Classpath
requires from the VM. If you need more powerful stack walking in your
own code, by all means add an API to do this, but only when this code is
part of GNU Classpath does it make sense to add it to the VM interface.
