[Haskell-cafe] how to catch/bracket in yesod-1.6?

[Simon Hafner]

>From the doc [1] there's a few instances you can use. `MonadResource`
sounds like the most obvious choice, with its `allocate` [2], but
that'll require you to refactor your application a bit. It's what I'd
recommend though. If that's unfeasable, there's always the new
`bracket_` on `MonadUnliftIO` [3]
