Re: [ghc-steering-committee] #330: Decorate exceptions with backtrace information, rec: accept

Dear Committee, Back in March I recommended to accept GHC Proposal #330 "Decorate exceptions with backtrace information". It appears to me that we all agree that the proposed change is a good idea. There were a couple of technical suggestions that the author readily incorporated into the proposal text (the most important addition: nested `WhileHandling` annotations). I've skimmed the proposal one more time before writing this message and I find that it is in a very good state now. I'm about to declare it accepted, any last moment objections?

Out of interest, why?

I'm not sure that I can quite say. The idea of annotations being somewhat implicitly passed, the symmetry with `HasCallStack`: it appeals to me. I guess it's not a very strong preference.
