+@code{Control.Exception} module - have long been an intimidating part of the
+Haskell ecosystem.  This package is intended to overcome this.  It provides a
+safe and simple API on top of the existing exception handling machinery.  The
+API is equivalent to the underlying implementation in terms of power but
+encourages best practices to minimize the chances of getting the exception
+handling wrong.")
