There hasn't been much positive response (in the original thread or here). Given you forgot about it for over a year, how important can it be? :-)

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
