[Haskell-cafe] Where is the documentation on exception types kept?

Thanks!  That is a neat way.  At least for exceptions which I know to exists
and know how to trigger ;)

In general, because Exception instances are Typeable instances, you can 
get a name, and then you can use that for searches.

import Control.Exception
import Data.Typeable

main = do
aida <- try (readFile "no")
case aida of
Left (SomeException e) -> print (typeOf e)
