[Ironruby-core] hosting: howto get the nice ruby backtrace on exception thrown from ruby?

[Meinrad Recheis]

Thanks Thomas, thats very good. As for a suggestion about ExceptionService
features: It would be quite useful to retrieve the exception backtrace as
string[] in order to be able format it to one's needs. For instance, I like
using the VisualStudio error parser to be able to jump from the backtrace in
the output right into the right line in the source file (see my blog post:
http://www.eqqon.com/index.php/Navigating_in_Exception_Stack_Traces_in_Visual_C-Sharp).
To do that, currently, I would need to parse the formatted backtrace and
re-format it. No big deal. Just would be nice to have.

Cheers,
