Good point.

As it stands, CallerData is almost identical to the StackTraceElement
class. I don't expect CallerData to ever contain ClassPackagingData
because collecting class packaging data is an extremely expensive
operation, barely tolerable for exceptions but certainly not for every
log statement.  I would be quite surprised if we ever wanted to
replace CallerData/STE with STEProxy.
