Is the performance implication the main reason?  If so, I'd rather we
fix that instead.  I know Nick and/or Vladimir suggested "-var-list
--locals" at one point in an earlier discussion of a related problem.
That's probably quite a lot faster, especially if we can notify the
front end when it enters a new frame.
