Well perhaps not end users, but in my opinion it is VERY
useful to have such information, and the GNAT design for
exception trace back (as currently implemented on Solaris,
which is the first target for which we have provided this
capability), allows you to specify whether you want
symbolic tracebacks with file names and line numbers or
not. If not, then you can use addr2line to convert the
non-symbolic values to symbolic ones.
