That seems to do it.

  let func = () => {};
  console.log(func.name); // func

and in stack traces:

  let func = () => foo();
  func()

results in:

  Uncaught ReferenceError: foo is not defined
  func @ test.js:1

Wow. I had no idea that would work.

All this time I've been using the full named function expressions over arrow functions just for the stack traces.

Still though, in situations where I care about the stack trace, I don't see myself writing:

  let doStuffCallback = () => {};
  doStuff(doStuffCallback);

over:

  doStuff(function doStuffCallback() {
  });
