Description
@ChrisRackauckas mentioned that to get a nice stack trace from generated functions, we can print the expression into a temporary file and point the stack trace to that file.
Can this be done automatically with Ctrl - Q functionality in the REPL and other IDEs?

Research direction
Start by investigating how generated expressions could be printed to temporary files and how stack traces can point to those files. Then examine the REPL and IDE Ctrl-Q workflows, define behavior across those environments, and validate that the resulting stack traces are useful; the issue names no files or tests.
