	* $key mixed - will accept strings or arrays - if passed in, the array_walk will only clean those fields
	*

simple_backtrace() is an easier to read, configurable version of debug_backtrace(), making debugging your code more fun... or at least just easier. Read more about it here: [link coming soon]

	/**
	* a simpler version of debug_backtrace()
	*
	* @param boolean $show_args Pass true to display argument values in the output
	* @param boolean $expand_objects when $show_args == true, pass true to expand object values, default to false to avoid over-verbosity
	*

	function simple_backtrace( $show_args = false, $expand_objects = false )

	$tracers = debug_backtrace();
