It is probably more accurately named "call stack access"; typically call stacks are used internally in a lot of languages so that a function knows where to send it's return value, however call stack access also means that the programmer can read the order of executed functions (and also sometimes identify where the function was called from).

It's something that Stefan has thought about adding into GScript but hasn't got to yet; it would greatly improve script security if functions could tell where they were being called from.
