.net debugger can arbitrarily move instruction pointer, it's not 
really an unwind (for true unwind you need a tracing debugger, 
which are commercial because they are so advanced), more like a 
sudden goto, it doesn't unwind memory, but actually there are 
many functions, which can be rerun this way.
