I think by non-intuitive he means that the calling function is displayed
BELOW the called function. this is because of the way the script works.
And I call that non-intuitive too.
I think it should be the other way around.

AND then it writes out the function
so basicly if foo calls bar
then the display look like this:
  bar
foo
while it should be:
foo
 bar
