Comment (by dfeuer):

 Here's a very rough draft. This can be written without modifying the
 `CallStack` type, but I imagine it would be better to modify that.

 {{{#!hs
 extraCS :: HasCallStack
         => String
         -> (HasCallStack => a)
         -> a
 extraCS s a =
   let cs = ?callStack
   in
     let ?callStack = case cs of
            EmptyCallStack -> EmptyCallStack
            PushCallStack x y z -> PushCallStack (x ++ " (" ++ s ++ ")") y
 z
            q@(FreezeCallStack _) -> q
     in a
 }}}
