Maybe I have missed something but the point of raising an exception and
getting its location has already been discussed on the list:
http://caml.inria.fr/archives/200007/msg00028.html (look also at the thread)

To generate a backtrace, just do an "assert(false)" with the environment
variable OCAMLRUNPARAM set to "b=1" (without quotes, see man ocamlrun).

Yes. Somebody has written a tool to convert a trace in source position:
