Print stacktrace without raising and Exception in Ruby and/or Rails

Print a stacktrace in Ruby or Rails without raising an exception

Why

You know what method is being and you want to figure out how it got there. Raising an exception is a bit harsh since all you want is a stack trace

How

puts caller

Seriously. It's that easy. If you're getting too much information you could

puts caller[0..2]

Since caller is just an array of strings.
