Comment (by gridaphobe):

 I think I would want GHC to inject `HasCallStack` into explicit type
 signatures.

 One possibility would be to just always add `HasCallStack` as a top-level
 given, and then silently drop it if it's found to be unused. I know GHC
 already has code to warn about unused constraints, but I don't know how
 awkward it would be to make use of that for this purpose.
