It would not be terribly hard or ugly to create new ways of speciflng
which signals or errors should call the debugger.  They could implement
whatever additional conditions you like, by specifying a function to call
which should return non-nil to call the debugger.

What would make this simple and clean is that instead of saving
backtrace information to be looked at later, it would call the debugger
instead of copying a selectio of data in internatl formats.
