* \brief Functions to produce backtraces on bugs, crashes, or assertion
* failures.
+ *
+ * Currently, we've only got an implementation here using the backtrace()
+ * family of functions, which are sometimes provided by libc and sometimes
+ * provided by libexecinfo. We tie into the sigaction() backend in order to
+ * detect crashes.
