Ah, hm. Any chance of having binding(n) where n=0 is the current binding 
and n=1 is the caller's binding in standard Ruby then? Or do you feel it 
is too much of a risk because it can be abused?

What it would be highly useful for is debugging.

I think I might be able to implement Binding.of_caller even when the bug 
that currently allows it to work is fixed, but it won't be pretty.

Thanks again for all your help!
