OK.  If we want to change it, someone gets the lousy job of going
through all the call sites.  I had to fix up a bunch of them recently.

It's only a problem because there's no way to stop it.  When the
prompt is displayed C-c will not stop the application (since it's
already stopped), and typing q will stop the current backtrace and
resume the application.  Very hard to get out of it.

No, there isn't any documentation for how this should work, yet.
