Hi everyone,

Out of curiosity, I was wondering how difficult it would be in theory to
extend the type system so that exceptions that can pop out of a function
when it is called would be included in the type of the function. Could this
type information be infered automatically? Could this be used to have an
exhaustivity check in the "with" part of a try ... with expression?

I guess that if it was so easy, we would already be enjoying it within our
favorite compiler, but I fail to see how hairy is the question.

Cheers,
  Philippe.
