I think this is a very bad idea. When the program receive a segfault
I want my lovely core dumped. A core dump is way more useful than any
possible backtrace.

I really don't see any use for it except if an uncaught exception could
generate a core dump (just as GCC do for C++ code). But I *really*
*really* want my core dump, so I can open my debugger and inspect the dead
program exactly in the point where it failed.
