[Haskell-beginners] exceptions and stacks

[Emmanuel Touzery]

Hello,

     that is very interesting.
     on top of that, this library also offers an "assert" function, 
which will throw an exception with location in the source code if the 
assert condition is false.

     so i will definitely consider this. i would really rather compiler 
support but... That's probably the next best thing.
