In short, if you've gotten into this situation then it's time to
rearchitect your application. You shouldn't have to ask this question.
You're fighting the message path, and while what you want to do can be
done, it ain't the right way to do things.

That said, if you don't want to pass the calling stack as an argument
you need to look at the executionContexts to get the call stack.
