[Haskell-beginners] learning about exceptions

[Markus Läll]

Hi Jake,

it looks like the docs (Control.Exception from base) are the best
place to start right now, because all articles and links on the wiki
are old.

They (the docs) are quite informative though, so if you don't really
need to use exceptions, then it might be easier to wait and come back
to them when you do -- by then they'll be easier to understand, too.
