You now need to specify the exact type of the exception you wish to catch. For example, to catch any exception:
action `catch` (\(e :: SomeException) -> handler)

It is too bad we didn't name SomeException to just be Exception, then it would be quite straightforward to write code that cleanly compiles on 6.8 and 6.10. As it is, #if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ < 610 type SomeException = Exception #endif does the trick, but no one likes CPP... John -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈
