The code in YHC is roughly "if some list is empty then error "No files

of "error (if some list is empty then "No files found" else "Many files
found")", would there still be circumstances where the actual output
produced could vary?
Maybe. If GHC knows that error is strict (which it might well do)
then you could be back where you started.
Oops, error isn't strict, never mind.
Ok, so error *is* strict. Please ignore me, I have a cold and I'm having a bad
day :-(
Cheers,
Simon
