[Jprogramming] Debug Signal - comments requested

[Henry Rich]

I think you will.  It's a bit forbidding at first, with very little in the
way of commentary to guide you.  When I want to understand an area, I first
go through and add explanatory notes.  If many users did that, we could make
the code much more welcoming to newcomers.

AFAICS, any stack information you have when debug is off is accidental.  
There has to be some rudimentary stack to allow formatting of error 
messages, but it represents wasted time in the interpreter and should be 
reduced to the minimum possible.
