Comment(by simonmar):

 This is pretty exciting!  I'm looking forward to having panic messages in
 GHC emit a stack trace by default.  I'd be interested to see what a stack
 trace from the bowels of GHC looks like - have you tried it?

 I've been thinking about stripping the debug info - we could do it at link
 time with a flag to GHC.  `strip` has a flag to strip a particular
 section, and then we can tell the RTS that the debug info has been
 stripped in the same way that we tell it about the `-rtsopts` flag, i.e.
 with a special compiled-at-link-time C file.
