60 years after the invention of COBOL, I think it's permissible for compiler and exception handling folks to throw in the variables passed on the stack when generating a stack trace such that extra logging to capture it was not necessary.

No first-hand experience, but my dad wrote RAE’s Blue Streak dynamics modelling and Dounreay’s thermodynamics modelling in COBOL. So, no, I don’t understand, but yes, impressed by whatever it means.
