[Haskell-cafe] testing for exceptions

[Darren Grant]

I'd expect most Haskellers to recommend something like,

  f2 :: Integer -> Either Integer ErrorString

where ErrorString is some specific error value type. (String may suffice
for you.)

This is a safe general solution, but there are many potentially more
specific possibilities that might make your program simpler depending on
how this function relates to the context it will be used in.

Cheers,
Darren
