Yeah I agree -- Right now the UI just isn't very streamlined for
this. It's actually designed behind the scenes for this. In fact,
you should be able to put in a stack trace that already exists and
click on that "add an explanation" at the top and it should do the
right thing (i.e. there should now be two explanations for the same
exception). I was meaning to add just an "add explanation" button on
the stack trace browser, though, too. I'll put that on the to-do list.
