Here's an idea.  I think this has probably been discused before, but perhaps
not.

1) caller's return should be callable as a sub (IE have it's &{} operator
   overloaded), to call your caller.
   
2) caller(-1), should return your own information.  (If it doesn't already
return somthing.  Which I don't think it does.

3) Passing caller() a version-vector should be able to retrive information
on scopes that caller doesn't (IE any scope not a do, require, eval, or
sub-call.)
