Comment (by simonpj):

 You did not respond to bullet 5 of comment:24.  I'd like to see displayed
 stacks looking like:
 {{{
   foo, called at Bar.hs line 5
   wim, called as Wobble.hs line 9
   ...etc...
 }}}
 Currently we can get the call sites but not the function being called.  I
 think it'd make the stacks a lot more informative.
