Re: PROPOSAL: Add displayException to Exception typeclass

How about a compromise:

1. Add a new method to the Exception typeclass:

-- | Render this exception value in a human-friendly manner. Default implementation: @show@. displayException :: e -> String displayException = show

2. Add a function that can be invoked to change the default handler.

Then one can easily install a generic handler that uses displayException.

Agreed. Roman
