You know like many other open source projects, if you really want a feature you
should implement it.  As I mentioned in the other bug, knowing where something
crashed is only part of the story on debugging, you also need to know why,
which can be much harder to see as the problem comes from 1000 lines before. 
So getting this info is only useful for obvious bugs which someone could spot
by going through the code line by line.

Also the user should not know your internals of your program, it just confuses
them and in fact it might cause some of IP to be exposed and you don't want
that.
