Oh, indeed - and pretty dusty now. I would suggest to remove it when all
its feature are either broken or replaced by python scripts. Need to
look at the details, but stack backtraces is definitely still on the
todo list here.

In this case I think we could add the feature also under "dmesg". But I
would generally like to avoid potential namespace clashes with gdb or
other helpers, therefore the common prefix. Also, if you type
"lx-<tab>", you now get a list of all Linux-related commands.
