[Haskell-cafe] better error message for "undefined"

[Martijn van Steenbergen]

You can use the error function. It accepts a string that is displayed 
when the error is evaluated:

> GHCi, version 6.10.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
> Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
> Loading package integer ... linking ... done.
> Loading package base ... linking ... done.
> Prelude> error "hi!"
> *** Exception: hi!

HTH,

Martijn.
