Seeing as LJ is already tracing all Lua calls that are executed, could
it not have an option to export this information in a form that would
facilitate code browsing? This is a common problem when familiarizing
oneself with a large code base.  From static analysis, it is
practically impossible to know what code paths are implied by the
simple call 'obj:method()'

The exact format is not important, only that it is parseable ;)
