The
Ok
type is a simple error handler, basically equivalent to
Either [SomeException]
.
One of the primary reasons why this type was introduced is that
Either SomeException
had not been provided an instance for
Alternative
,
and it would have been a bad idea to provide an orphaned instance for a
commonly-used type and typeclass included in
base
.
Extending the failure case to a list of
SomeException
s enables a
more sensible
Alternative
instance definitions:
<|>
concatinates
the list of exceptions when both cases fail, and
empty
is defined as
'Errors []'. Though
<|>
one could pick one of two exceptions, and
throw away the other, and have
empty
provide a generic exception,
this avoids cases where
empty
overrides a more informative exception
and allows you to see all the different ways your computation has failed.
