[Haskell-cafe] how to catch keyboard interrupts?

This is pretty cool, but I have one warning:

I am pretty sure that this makes Dynamic unsound; you could
accidentally cast from an Int to a MyInterrupt or vice versa.  Try
this instead:

> data MyException = Interrupt deriving Typeable

then you can safely use throwDyn and catchDyn on this type.
