Thank you for referencing the issue, I couldn't find it anymore for some reason. While the technicality of the "errors-as-values" proposal might delay the implementation of such a taxonomy, I think we could totally lay the groundwork and actually work on defining it first. On 15/06/2020 23:2

As a side note, the idea of making a taxonomy of errors with unique tagging has been brought up on ghc-proposals recently, although marked as out-of-scope (maybe rightly so): https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/325 The ease of searching is among the major motivations behind it. --
