I'm generally inclined to agree that there's no harm in spilling implementation details in the stack trace, I can't think of a single language that lets you do what Joachim is suggesting.
Since when has that become an argument _against_ a change? Especially if no one else is doing it, then we should be doing it ;-)
That being said, it sounds like it could be a very lightweight extension of the existing machinery, so it might be interesting to experiment with. But it probably should be a separate ticket :)
Agreed; #11049. If that is implemented you might use that machinery to fix this bug without having to maintain two variants of error, as you can suppress the CallStack at the point where error (or `foldl1`) is called. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11035#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
