Yes, some examples of what you find confusing would help.

I do find that i get confused occasionally too.  While we provide 
information about each stack frame things can get confusing if your deep in 
mapping functions or something, largely because closures print like:

{jsint.Closure ??[1] (x)}

Also, (let* ...) is turned into nested lambeda.

I've started work on an unanalyzer which takes the compiled code and turns 
it back more toward the original scheme.  Would that help?
