Applied.

I was thinking that we might get a little more benefit from adding just a tad of strictness to catchX itself. It could call seq on the return value to catch at least the grossest errors that might be hidden in lazy values. That still wouldn't obsolete this change to userCode, since the advantage when we've got a () return value is that we can safely ignore it and keep any changes that might have been made. -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University
