Sorry should have been more clear.

When programming in lua - c side I have a function that returns an array of 
strings (the stack), with each value printed neatly, with a watch on it. As 
you step through the code you can see the state of the stack at any point in 
the watch window, simplifies debugging.

Not a standard lua feature though but not too hard to write.
