13 -- The "GHC.Err" module defines the code for the wired-in error functions,
14 -- which have a special type in the compiler (with \"open tyvars\").
16 -- We cannot define these functions in a module where they might be used
17 -- (e.g., "GHC.Base"), because the magical wired-in type will get confused
18 -- with what the typechecker figures out.

132 in the libraries before the Exception type has been defined yet.
