Turning Stack Traces on/off

Is there anyway to turn stack traces on or off via the config file?

That is, if I log an error w/an exception using

     cat.error("Oops", exception);

Can I set up the config file so the stack trace is only provided if I
want it to?

I was considering something like this:

     if (cat.isDebugEnabled())
         cat.error("Oops", exception);
     else
         cat.error("Oops");

which would only show exception stack traces in Debug mode.

Thanks, Carl
