You made it clear 2 mails ago and it was so obvious to me that I
didn't put words on it. So let me state it clearly: "I will disable
the stack trace printing" or at least hide it enoug behind a "debug"
flag. Although if some exception escape the context, there will still
be stack traces -- but not on purpose.

This reminds me a little bit the debian website that tells you to set your *browser language* to english if you want to browse the site in english when your browser is not because it uses stupid language-based content-negociation on *each request*. Yeah right, I'm going to change my browser user settings to be able to browse the site in english...
