It provides a clean, fluent, and iterable API that allows you to: - Dynamically filter files, classes, methods, functions, lines, and more - Ignore helper functions or internal frames to focus on relevant code - Navigate through the trace stack with methods like peek(), each(), first(), etc. - Determine whether a function, method, or class appears in the call stack - Create clean, readable backtraces with zero dependencies Tracer is ideal as a standalone utility or as a foundational component for more complex tools like [Exceptor](https://github.com/Sikessem/Exceptor), enabling precise and expressive debugging in modern PHP.
