I have used this in fontification routines to get a backtrace. At least
on w32 you need to do something like this when you want a backtrace when
an error happens in a timer.
What is the scenario where you want to get a backtrace when an error
happens in a timer? Is this something you want during a particular
debugging session when a bug causes an error in that timer function?
So you would insert that macro temporarily just while debugging?
If so, I can see why it is useful, but is this interface the idea one
for the job? Or would you prefer to have a feature where you could
put a certain timer function's name on a list and then errors in
that timer function would not be caught at all?
