Thanks David. The problem is that I need it first in node.js, and if possible with a standardized API that works in all ES6 JS engines. I see this as being similar to asking for a portable "stack" property in Error objects. I don't know if it is actually mandated by ES6 but it looks like all major JS engines support it now. Note that caller and callee would not work for my use case. I need the frame info for a generator object which has been suspended, not from the generator function itself.
