Is there a function ready to use that prints to stdout/stderr the current stacktrace from the point it is invoked ?

Does `println(stacktrace())` do what you want?

I sometimes use:

```julia
foreach(((ii,frame),)->println("[$ii] $frame"), enumerate(stacktrace()))

```

Which gives:

```julia
julia> foreach(((ii,frame),)->println("[$ii] $frame"), enumerate(stacktrace()))

```

the numbers are nice for readabilty.
