Alternatively, is there a way to know ahead of time whether or not an Int will cause 'chr' to throw an exception?
since Char is in instance of 'Bounded' as well as 'Enum'
wouldn't fromEnum (maxBound :: Char) give the max value of Int for which a
valid char exists?

Hello, I'm working on a general text-processing library [1] and one of my quickcheck tests is designed to make sure that my library doesn't throw exceptions (it returns an Either type on failure). However, there are some inputs that cause me to pass bogus values to the 'chr' function (such as 1208914), which causes it to throw an exception. Is there a version of that function that is safe? (I'm hoping for something like Int -> Maybe Char). Alternatively, is there a way to know ahead of time whether or not an Int will cause 'chr' to throw an exception?
Thanks, Myles C. Maxfield
