I love myself a nice stack trace, so let's add Lua's
debug.traceback. This can be used inxpcallas the message handler. It appends a stack trace to the message. This is really useful when testing (answering "which assert actually failed?").The other functions of the
debuglibrary are all unsafe for us. Instead of reimplementing the function, we could also go with the approach we took for theiolibrary. Since thetracebackfunction is mostly a wrapper aroundluaL_traceback, which does the heavy lifting, I think it's fine here.
