[Haskell-cafe] Warnings for unhandled exceptions

[Henk-Jan van Tuyl]

L.S.,

I was reading about the Aardvark language [0] and the robustness they  
intend to implement in it by, amongst others, catching each possible  
exception. I wonder, is it possible to implement compiler warnings for  
unhandled exceptions in Haskell? One of the strong points of Haskell is  
the type checking and clearly identifying functions with side effects, but  
exceptions are not reflected by the type of a function. It would be useful  
if the compiler gave a warning for each type of exception, for each  
expression, that is not handled by the program.

Regards,
Henk-Jan van Tuyl
