Research direction

Start by tracing HandleStackTraceRequestAsync to EnumFrameInfo and compare the requested frame range with the current parameter enumeration. The change is done when EnumFrameInfo receives the requested start and end levels, gathers information only for that range, and the handler still returns the requested slice. No file or test path is named in the issue.

Description

Feature Request

At this moment EnumFrameInfo method reads parameters info for all stack frames of a thread in spite of a client requesting a range of them (e.g. vscode-cpptools by default requests only the first 20 frames).
Finally the HandleStackTraceRequestAsync handler replies to a client with a requested slice of frames. It means that some resources were wasted and it creates a significant delay on large stacks.

Is it possible to pass start and end frame level into the EnumFrameInfo to get necessary info only?
