Changes (by bgamari):

 * milestone:  ⊥ => 7.12.1


Comment:

 It seems like we have the pieces in place to address this in 7.12.
 Milestoning appropriately

 There are a few questions that remain, however,

  * What sort of stack trace should the exception carry? At the moment we
 have a number of source location representations scattered about `base`
 (which will hopefully soon be cleaned up; see #10068)
  * Do we want backtraces to be enabled by default?
