Comment (by bgamari):
> There was also a Show instance for CallStack in 7.10.2, is there a
reason to want that? I think not, because the user shouldn't care about
the representation. If you want a machine-readable formatting of a
CallStack you can use getCallStack stk to get a list of the call-sites,
which is then Showable (assuming a Show SrcLoc instance).
I see the argument here but then again I think there is little harm in
providing the instance.
