Why is this bug classified as "Won't Fix"?  Isn't this something
we would all like to see fixed?  Not fixing today does not mean
that it should not be fixed.

What's more, _users_ currently do the work by hand, so it must
be possible to at least partly (probably fully) get it done
by program.  If users can manually (time-consuming and error-prone)
redact the byte-code when pasting a backtrace into a mail etc.
then that can be done by program.

The fact that no one has done this yet is not a good reason
to close this as "wont-fix".
