Well, I'd be very happy to get back a richer data structure if it were
practical...

For memory tracing it's useful to get a sequence (array) of return
addresses which can be separately translated to a string (cuts down on the
intermediate storage required to represent the backtrace, and the time
required to hash it).

...but that's basically it.
