[Haskell-cafe] instance Eq Exception??

It seems the Exception datatype is currently an instance of Eq, that
does not even satisfy reflexivity (for Dynamic exceptions). Does anybody
use this? What is it good for? Why is it there? What if we delete the
instance because it doesn't make sense? Exception is not an instance of
Ord currently; it also has an instance Show that does make a little
sense - for Dynamic exceptions, it gives (in GHC, not Hugs) the
information of what the exception's type looks like.
