The CCL IDE does this as well (double-click in the backtrace 
dialog).  The problem is that you can't debug Cocoa apps in the IDE.

But Adlai has a point.  A while back, Mikel added the ability to 
connect to the IDE from Slime.  It might have bitrotted, and it might 
need a little more work, but it seems like a more featureful way to 
debug Cocoa apps than altconsole.
