I think I'm going to have to let someone else answer. I just got lost in
MonadBaseControl, not to mention how you do this if all you have is the
ActionCtxT and not the WebStateT where Spock actually handles exceptions. :/

If it helps, exception handling is known to be a sewer --- because it can't
be done in a clean and generic way without introducing significant resource
leaks and other problems. And MonadBaseControl works when you (or the
developer, in this case of Spock) define the right instances, but is doing
it the hard way.
