For me it would be very important because I often wonder where the threads
are currently working in my multithreaded apps. As a partial solution, I
wrote a "thread monitor" that tracks all thread's frames using a trace
function and generates tracebacks on demand. This slows down program
execution of course. With that function, it would be much simpler to see
the current state of the program (which is trivial in environments like the
JVM for example).

Kind regards,
Alexander
