Comment (by gridaphobe):

 There were also concerns about API stability, particularly since the
 original implementation exposed the implicit parameter. Now that we have
 the `HasCallStack` alias and a decent set of API functions around it, we
 could swap out the implementation, if necessary, with less potential for
 client breakage.

 I'd support starting to add `HasCallStack` constraints to common partial
 functions like `fromJust`, `head`, etc. Though, is this something that
 should be discussed with the Core Libraries Committee?
