#' @details `extractStackTrace` takes a list of calls (e.g. as returned
#'   from `conditionStackTrace(cond)`) and returns a data frame with one
#'   row for each stack frame and the columns `num` (stack frame number),
#'   `call` (a function name or similar), and `loc` (source file path
#'   and line number, if available). It was deprecated after shiny 1.0.5 because
#'   it doesn't support deep stack traces.
