I intentionally left this out since it was non-ECMA and the caller-
callee pair can only be supported by creating a call frame for every
invocation, which would have a significant negative impact on
performance for compiled code.
An option would be to support in interpreter mode only, although I've
tried to avoid having any functionality differences between the two
modes.
So how important is this as a feature?
