That would be nice indeed. A stack trace shouldn't contain anything very
private. Only potential problem is the arguments to the functions, if
the stacktrace sent includes that (haven't looked at it). This could
contain passwords or something else that's sensitive.

Short term fix would not giving that info at all, but that makes
debugging harder. Perhaps there could be some sort of blacklist with
functions that take sensitive data to have it scrubbed, but something
could be missed.
