Feature description
We(nauticus robotics) have gotten in the habit of using backward_ros when building our packages because it gives us a nice console trace when one of our nodes crash. In order to reduce the number of domain participants to improve DDS performance we have started combining nodes in composable node containers, but the composable node containers aren't built with backward ros so we lose the traces should something segfault which is really detrimental to finding/fixing those crash cases. Just curious if there's any way we could compile rclcpp with backward ros or some perhaps incorporating what backward ros does directly as I understand if adding an external dependency on backward_ros isn't desired for core packages like rclcpp.
