%description
Synchronous and Asynchronous exceptions which are explicit in the type
signature. The first ones are very similar to 'Either' and
'Control.Monad.Error.ErrorT'. The second ones are used for 'System.IO.readFile'
and 'System.IO.hGetContents'. This package is a proposal for improved exception
handling in Haskell. It strictly separates between handling of exceptional
situations (file not found, invalid user input, see
<http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Exception>) and (programming) errors
(division by zero, index out of range, see
<http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Error>). Handling of the first one is
called "exception handling", whereas handling of errors is better known as
"debugging".

For applications see the packages 'midi', 'spreadsheet', 'http-monad'.

Although I'm not happy with the identifier style of the Monad Transformer
Library (partially intended for unqualified use) I have tried to adopt it for
this library, in order to let Haskell programmers get accustomed easily to it.

To do: Because many people requested it, we will provide a 'bracket' function
that frees a resource both when an exception and an error occurs, that is, it
combines exception handling and debugging. However note that freeing resources
in case of an error is dangerous and may cause further damage.
