We serve optimized, obfuscated code to our users and if we get a
runtime error we post the stacktrace to the server. This is crucial
for ensuring high quality applications. Serving debug code is not
really an option. I agree that for debug mode you don't need to be
able to get the caller but if you are debugging you are usually better
of using a debugger anyway.
