I would like to inspect the variable's name/value on the stack at a specific point in \
time for diagnostic purposes, I don't want to change their value. I don't think that \
should be allowed anyway :-)

I had a look to the API's Javadoc, my understanding is that I could to get to the \
StackTraceElement array with it . That is OK to see the  calls' stack but it does not \
provide any API to inspect what is actually on the stack in terms of variable's \
<name, value> pair.

Did I miss anything ?

Thanks,
P.
