Comment (by gridaphobe):

 Replying to [comment:15 simonmar]:
 > We could have a non-callstack version of error, and use that from
 `minimumBy` and other functions in base that call `error`?

 Yes, that's the idea. We could even add a one-off version of Richard's
 RULE to optimize away the callstacks for `error` in distributed code,
 which I think would make Joachim happier.

 I'm just wondering if the cosmetic issue is enough to warrant the extra
 (probably small) maintenance burden.
