Well, I don't want to change that part, but to enhance it by external tools.

E.g, better call stack to mimic valgrind output. So when one developer
caused some leakage,  he or she can locate the problem easier.

Personally speaking, the external tool may be just an good enhancement,
but may not get much usage.
