--tb=native should exclude non-user frames

[belm0]

Like --tb=long/short, --tb=native should only show user frame frames.

Users of "native" want the same scope of information, just in the native traceback format. I believe it's straightforward to prune the traceback object before formatting.

currently:

[The-Compiler]

The whole point of --tb=native is to turn off any traceback processing, which is very useful to get the actual traceback if there are any bugs in that processing (e.g. frames are being hidden that shouldn't be) — so I'm -1 to this, as it defeats the whole purpose.

What's your use-case here, and how does your desired output differ from what --tb=short already gives you?
