Better JSC debugging in exchange for worse debugging in non-JSC code that calls 
through to WTF is not a great tradeoff.

Is there a way to localize this change to only JSC?

Do we know for sure that this change would get stress tests running, or are we 
just guessing? Can we find out? It’s easier to weight a tradeoff between known 
quantities than it is to weigh a tradeoff between hoped-for quantities.

Thanks,
Geoff
