I'm really not arguing either way, in fact I like the change, but perhaps we should think hard before breaking code. I haven't heard anyone else comment so far on whether they like/dislike the current Exception interface... anyone?
Strongly dislike the current interface, in particular the fact that I have to scrutinize import lists to determine which catch/try I'm using, or always use fully-qualified versions. Having a type distinction is far preferable. I also like the way Ross' proposal moves more things into Haskell98.IO. Cheers, Andy -- Andy Moran Ph. (503) 526 3472 Galois Connections Inc. Fax.
