Yep. I have mentioned this as a desirable feature in nearly every RTEMS
class I have taught for over a decade. Your requirements are common. I have
heard of people writing the report to a file and parsing that.

It is a great opportunity to contribute or sponsor a core developer to do
the work.

It needs an API with a data structure defined. Could be two. One to get a
single thread's info with an ID and another way to iterate over all threads
with your own method called.

Personally I would have added to RTEMS before writing the report to a file
and parsing it. But I haven't been given the opportunity.

Also I think the user should be able to configure a stack checker plugin to
report a blown stack. That should be mostly refactoring.

Two things I thing are needed but no one has moved yet.
