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?
