After convincing myself the hard way that you can't be lazy across
strict monadic results (by writing myself a "foldrM" -- yeah, I'm
still a beginner), I noticed the recent discussion of safe-lazy-io vs.
iteratee with interest. The safe-lazy-io package seems much easier to
understand than iteratee, but it doesn't compile on GHC 6.12 (and I
haven't had any luck in figuring out how to update it myself). The
Hackage build log shows the same build result I'm getting [1]; is
there any chance of it getting updated to work on 6.12?

Right, updating it is on my todo list.

However I have a little dilemma, safe-lazy-io has a local version of
hGetContents because I needed a version which do not hide exceptions.

However the latest version of hGetContents seems to no longer catch
exceptions (am I right?), if so it might be preferable to just use
the new hGetContents. Or not?
