Let's say for instance I put the (Python equivalent?) of a "throw" statement
in my Python code.  When I run it in debug mode in my VS environment, and
that code throws an exception, the debugger should give me a complete
hierarchical chain of the calling context.  Including the containing C++
code.

If it doesn't, if I have to guess what was called and what all the C++ stack
and object variables currently are, that's stupid.

Things like this are what I mean by "integration."  I shouldn't have to care
that Python is a different programming language.

20% of the world is real.
80% is gobbledygook we make up inside our own heads.
