    I see. Do you think rethrowing the original exception is the the right approach in all cases, or only in this case? In the documentation I wrote for the exceptions package, I recommend to let the release block's exceptions take priority, to match base's behavior. Should I recommend the opposite?

What are some alternatives?

When comparing failure and exceptions you can also consider the following projects:

either - the EitherT monad transformer

transient - A full stack, reactive architecture for general purpose programming. Algebraic and monadically composable primitives for concurrency, parallelism, event handling, transactions, multithreading, Web, and distributed computing with complete de-inversion of control (No callbacks, no blocking, pure state)

control-monad-exception - Explicitly Typed exceptions as a library

categories - categories from category-extras

control-monad-omega - A Haskell monad for fair enumeration of infinite sets.

hask - Category theory for Haskell with a lens flavor (you need GHC 7.8.3, not 7.8.2 to build this!)

cloud-haskell - This is an umbrella development repository for Cloud Haskell

freer-simple - A friendly effect system for Haskell

apart - Get all your structure and rip it apart.

funflow - Functional workflows

apecs - a fast, extensible, type driven Haskell ECS framework for games

mtl - The Monad Transformer Library
