I use jsdIStackFrame.eval("new String("+evalExpr+");") to get the
source. I construct the evalExpr by looking at the source of the caller
of the eval(), relying on the supposed immutable name "eval".  Surely
there are cases where the evalExpr will be tough to extract without
a full parser (I'm just using regexp), but I guess most cases that 
programmers write will work.
