The print-(level|length) of backtraces should be under user control, i.e., at
the Lisp level or, better, interactively (e.g. option). It should not be
hard-coded.
If we are not using the global values of `print-level' and `print-length' or,
better, similar-acting variables (options?) that are specific to backtraces, why
not? How can a user control this aspect of the bactrace output appearance?
