Comment(by simonpj):
Yes, fine except
* I suggest you put the `failWithTc` part into `mk_msg`, renaming it
`failWithException` or something.
* Can you add a `Note [Concealed exceptions]` in `TcSplice` that gives a
concrete example (along the lines of the test case you added) of what the
deal here is? In two years time we will have forgotten, and a concrete
example is a huge help.
Then, go ahead and commit. Thanks.
