Er, that's 1. The call depth goes backwards.
0 = current sub
1 = caller (sub that called the current sub)
2 = caller's caller (sub that called the sub that called the current
sub)
Also, "Be aware that the optimizer might have optimized call frames
away before `caller' had a chance to get the information."
