=begin
Currently (({Thread.backtrace})) returns the stack frames for the currently running (({Fiber})).
It is not possible to retrieve the backtrace.

Building on http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8263, this would allow for this feature.

Sorry, I can't understand your proposal. Different discussion from #8263 ?

BTW, there are no Thread.backtrace method.

Thread.backtrace
#=>
ruby 2.1.0dev (2013-03-18 trunk 39808) [i386-mswin32_100]
t.rb:1:in <main>': undefined method backtrace' for Thread:Class
(NoMethodError)

It would be Thread#backtrace, I guess.

I am proposing adding the ability to call Thread#root_fiber to return the Fiber which is considered the original co-routine for the specified Thread.
This is useful to be able to retrieve information about the original Fiber for the Thread.

I understand what you want. How to use it?
