Long stack traces

If you want super long stack traces use trace. Just make sure to put clarify before trace.

require('clarify');
require('trace');

var fs = require('fs');

// There is no limit for the size of the stack trace
Error.stackTraceLimit = Infinity;

setTimeout(function () {
  fs.readFile(__filename, function () {
    process.nextTick(function () {
      throw new Error("custom error");
    });
  });
}, 200);

throw the following output:

/Users/Andreas/Sites/node_modules/trace/test.js:14
      throw new Error("test");
            ^
Error: test
