I haven't worked enough with iteratees to have an informed opinion on this,
but I wonder what the pros and cons are of having an error state in the
iteratees at all. In other words, why would this
data Step a m b
= Continue (Stream a -> Iteratee a m b)
| Yield b (Stream a)
| Error E.SomeException
be preferred over this
data Step a m b
= Continue (Stream a -> Iteratee a m b)
| Yield b (Stream a)
(Maybe with the restriction that m is a MonadError.)
