Description

https://hoogle.haskell.org/?hoogle=HasCallStack

Produces no results. Yet

https://hoogle.haskell.org/?hoogle=CallStack

does. And HasCallStack is in the same module as CallStack.

Could it be because HasCallStack is a type alias for implicit parameters (a rather rare thing to find)?

Research direction

Reproduce the two searches at https://hoogle.haskell.org/?hoogle=HasCallStack and https://hoogle.haskell.org/?hoogle=CallStack, then inspect Hoogle's indexing path for type aliases and implicit parameters. Done means HasCallStack appears in search results, while CallStack continues to work.
