Once small thing I've noticed: UserInterrupt (ctr-c) exceptions are not thrown in ghci, probably because it installs its own signal handlers: Prelude Control.Exception Control.Concurrent> handle (\UserInterrupt -> putStrLn "Caught!") (threadDelay 2000000) ^CInterrupted. For consistency between the compiled and interpreted environments, it would be nice if the above could catch the ctrl-c. But maybe there's a reason not to do this? If this change sounds OK, I can take a look at this and try to put together a patch over the weekend.
