One thing that would be useful is to get some examples on where it's 
important to walk another fiber's stack. No issue with a fiber walking 
its own stack of course, we have StackWalker for that. I suspect we'll 
have to do several updates in the serviceability area, maybe to the 
java.lang.management and the debugging APIs, but less clear (to me 
anyway) if the more user facing Fiber API will need the equivalent of 
Thread getStackTrace.
