I don't think we need more extensions to do a reasonable job of extensible exceptions:
i'm not yet read but guess that this is paper you will present at ICFP?
can you please say in 2 words - what is the current state of this?
"not" "yet" (well that was about all I could say in 2 words :-).
is it can be used with ghc 6.4, or 6.6, or ...? some solution in this area, imho, is a must for serious application development
I didn't want to unilaterally implement something without having a discussion about exactly what to do, as there are various design issues. The Haskell Workshop paper advocates one particular point in the design space, and I think the point it occupies is a local maximum for various reasons, but it's not 100% clear that this is the right thing for Haskell'. Cheers, Simon
