Well, we could do a proper job of extensible data types, which probably
isn't hard but is certainly a fair amount of work.  Or we could treat
Exception as a special case, like ML.  Or we could take the
Dynamic-typed exception stuff and try to use that in a general way to
provide an extensible exception type... I'm open to suggestions.
