(define (stack-catch key thunk handler)
"Like @code{catch}, invoke @var{thunk} in the dynamic context of
@var{handler} for exceptions matching @var{key}, but also save the
current stack state in the @var{the-last-stack} fluid, for the purpose
of debugging or re-throwing of an error. If thunk throws to the
symbol @var{key}, then @var{handler} is invoked this way:\n
@example
(handler key args ...)
@end example\n
@var{key} is a symbol or #t.\n
@var{thunk} takes no arguments. If @var{thunk} returns normally, that
is the return value of @code{catch}.\n
Handler is invoked outside the scope of its own @code{catch}. If
@var{handler} again throws to the same key, a new handler from further
up the call chain is invoked.\n
If the key is @code{#t}, then a throw to @emph{any} symbol will match
this call to @code{catch}."
