It should be possible to walk a Threads stack.

If the Thread Class provided a method getStack() which returned a new public
Stack class (or an enumeration of StackObjects). It would be possible to walk
the Stack of a Thread.

The following would be possible, and extremely useful for logging and error
reporting, and debugging.

  Stack stack = Thread.getStack() ;
  Enumeration enum = stack.getAttributeNames() ;
  while( enum.hasMoreElements() )
    {
      Object stackObject = enum.nextElement() ;
      stackObject.getClass().getName() ;
      stackObject.getClass().get ...
      ...
    }
