Description

As it is common to use caller_locations(1,1) and caller(1,1), this proposes aliases to help get the previous backtrace frame and improve performance by avoiding getting full backtrace information - a common mistake.

The currently suggestions are:

  • immediate_caller
  • first_caller
  • caller_only

This feature request is based on a conversation with Charles Nutter who says:

This is such a common thing... maybe we need to add something like #caller_only or #caller1 that basically do caller(1,1).
