14 Well emerge does have a --debug flag under which to dump everything you
15 want. Tracebacks might also be included under the --verbose flag. IMHO
16 tracebacks should in most cases be replaced by user understandable
17 errors messages in such a way that the tracebacks are still easily
18 available if wanted.
