Stack scanning

[Francis McCabe]

I have a request for information: how should one implement stack scanning with 
lightning? Stack scanning is important if you are implementing a gc language. 
There are other stack level operations that are also important: switching 
between stacks for example; allowing debugging by reporting on the value of 
local variables and arguments.

Obviously the requirement is for a portable approach to this.

Thanks
Francis
