Hope Steve doesn't mind me quoting this bit of a private mail to
the list.

That was my suspicion!  Yes, I think eliminating byte-code output
from the debugger sounds very sensible.  If gdb can point to the
source then emacs' debugger should be able to too!  Yes, it would
be very cool having the backtrace via the ".el" file instead.
How hard would that be to implement?

Cheers, Jens
