Comment:

 Thanks for the report. I like the suggestion to return an abstract Frame
 type.

 I'm not sure I'll have time to work on this before 8.0 is released, so I'm
 tentatively setting it for 8.2. The main issue will probably be that
 adding the caller strings will exacerbate #10844, so I should finish
 addressing that ticket first.
