Hello,
The essential nature of the function wouldn't be altered any, it'd just give a more precise error. Seems like an improvement regardless of how one feels about errors/exceptions/bottoms.
Also, I think using DivideByZero is appropriate here. No need to invent a new exception type.
GHC.Real uses the error function in some places. I believe that most cases should be throw ArithException. I will survey and make a comprehensive proposal.
If there are other modules to be surveyed, please let me know.
I'll go ahead and make this change. Thanks for the suggestion! Cheers, Simon
