[darcs-devel] [issue387] wish: avoid use of 'show' on exceptions

[Eric Kow]

Eric Kow <kowey at darcs.net> added the comment:

I don't really understand this bug.

On a high level, I get that calling 'show' on Control.Exception.Exception where
the error is xxx gives us a useless 'User error: xxx' message (when clearly the
user isn't at fault).

Question I'd like somebody to answer: What exactly triggers this?  Is it as
simple as explicitly calling show, as in 'show e'?  If so why not extend our
policy mechanism to catch this?
