Using sentry in a rails application I noticed that recorded exception contain a lot of duplicated backtraces blowing up the submitted JSON unnecessary.
This happens because in the great big rails onion there are a lot of places where exception are rewrapped preserving the backtrace.
E.g. all errors in views get wrapped in an ActionView::Template::Error
Depending on used gems and middleware the JSON payload gets quite big.
I'm seeing reported exceptions with 300KB of json containing 9 exceptions but only three distinct stacktraces.
I'm not sure if this PR is the best solution for tackling this but I wanted to have this elicit some feedback on how this could be improved.
