I just found the rather useful function 'bracketOnError' in Network.hs and was wondering why it is not exported. You need this combinator every time you fork off a computation with an acquired resource, which happens pretty often in network code, so I think making it available would be worthwhile.

I think we should have bracketOnError, but I don't think the name is that great. Any ideas for a better one? Cheers, Simon
