Description
Example:
```
copy some_label, R1
call R1
some_label:
copy 42, R2
retrun
```
Here we want the string "some_label" to show up in the call stack instead of "Frame 1" when we reach the line containing `copy 42, R2`.

Research direction
Start by locating the debugger handling for the CallRegister and CallPointer instructions and the call-stack rendering entry point. Trace how the example's `some_label` is represented when execution reaches `copy 42, R2`; done means the call stack shows `some_label` instead of `Frame 1`.
