Any way to detect an async stack trace (like Chrome devtools does)?

1. here's 15-line javascript-hack to trace async-fetch-calls from
3rd-party-cdn-library
```html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<h1>test.html</h1>
<script>
(function () {
/*
* 15-line-javascript-hack to trace async-fetch-calls
* enable hack by adding search-query "?modeDebugFetch=1" to web-url
*/
"use strict";
if ((/\bmodeDebugFetch=1\b/).test(location.search)) {
let fetch0;
fetch0 = globalThis.fetch;
globalThis.fetch = function (...argList) {
let errStack = new Error().stack;
console.error("\n\nfetch-call-arguments:");
console.error(JSON.stringify(argList, undefined, 4));
console.error("\n\nfetch-call-trace:");
console.error(errStack);
return fetch0(...argList);
};
}
}());
</script>
<!-- 3rd-party-cdn-library -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/http-client/umd/http-client.js"></script>
<script>
(async function foo() {
"use strict";
let thirdParty = window.HTTPClient;
let myFetch = thirdParty.createFetch(
thirdParty.base("https://api.stripe.com/v1"),
thirdParty.accept("application/json")
);
let response = await myFetch("/customers/5");
console.log(response.jsonData);
/*
dev-console-output - http://localhost:8081/test.html?modeDebugFetch=1
fetch-call-arguments:
[
"https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/5",
{
"headers": {
"Accept": "application/json"
},
"responseHandlers": [
null
]
}
]
fetch-call-trace:

}());
</script>

```
2. here's real-world-hack added to npm-cli.js to debug its http-requests
```diff

+ if (process.env.NPM_DEBUG) {
+ console.error(
+ "npm - httpRequest - " + JSON.stringify(argList.slice(0, 2),
undefined, 4)
+ );
+ }
+ return httpRequest(...argList);
+};
// windows: running "npm blah" in this folder will invoke WSH, not node.

```mingw-bash
