Xdebug: show more items in the call stack

Xdebug's call stack shows 10 entries. Is there a way to show more? I didn't seem to find an option related to this in the documentation (http://xdebug.org/docs/all_settings).

From what I gathered, it appears that 100, not 10 is the default maximum depth a call stack can reach. It is controlled by the xdebug.max_nesting_level variable:

xdebug.max_nesting_level

Type: integer, Default value: 100
Controls the protection mechanism for infinite recursion protection. The value of this setting is the maximum level of nested functions that are allowed before the script will be aborted.
http://xdebug.org/docs/all_settings#max_nesting_level

It won't work as a solution to control how many steps are shown in a call stack though. If this setting was for example used to limit the shown calls to 5, it would also mean that the script would fail after a nesting level of 5. Whether an actual error had occurred or not.

In conclusion: there is no mechanism in Xdebug that would be usable to control the amount of calls displayed once an actual error occurred.
