Doh, yes, I did, thanks for the clarification.

After playing around with this a bit, I was able to get an implementation
of try, catch, and handle which work for any non-async exception, in monad
transformers which are instances of MonadBaseControl (from monad-control).
I'll try to write up my thoughts in something more coherent, likely a blog
post.
