rather than waiting another 2 or 3 years for a magical macro system to
somehow solve this.

if that's just for debugging -- consider using Thread.callStackSymbols

last i checked it has the entries in the mangled form, but probably it's
(1) good enough for debugging purposes and (2) possible to de-mangle them
somehow.
