haha that's confusing.... I'll import MonadThrow unqualified.

Rather than leaving out the typeclass, wouldn't it be better to provide a custom implementation that gives the behavior we want?

What behavior would that be? A catch that just catches SqlSerializationError first and rethrows it before running your handler? I suppose that would ensure this error is never masked.

I think that wouldn't be technically law-abiding
catch (throwM e) f = f ePresumably this law is for all e and f. If we "unmasked" SqlSerializationError in catch then any f :: SqlSerializationError -> m a would not result in f e but an exception.
How much do we care...

FTR:
instance MonadCatch Serializable where
catch m f = MonadCatch.catches m
[ MonadCatch.Handler $ \(e :: SqlSerializationError) -> MonadCatch.throwM e -- Never let a handler mask this exception
, MonadCatch.Handler f
]There was a problem hiding this comment.
we could make it (kinda) law-abiding again by also changing our throwM i think. it would be tricky and almost certainly not worthwhile for what it actually buys. I'm just not sure we actually want MonadCatch here though, particularly since also any other SqlError could cause the transaction to abort and would need to be handled specially if you don't abort the Serializable action also ...

It's probably not worth copying this impl just to get the polymorphic exception handling.

Nevermind, upstream uses SqlError. But I could upstream this version.

This has been merged. So we can point at original repo now.
