I've checked these all against the Darcs history using a script
(check-copyright, in my misccode collection). Anything Neil or I did as
part of our PhDs is copyright University of Kent; more recent work
belongs to us, as appropriate.
This makes sure that we catch all leftover instances of using SYB to do generic operations that we should be using Polyplate for instead. Most modules should only import Data, and possibly Typeable.
ErrorReport is of type (Maybe Meta, String), thereby adding an optional code position to error messages.
Die has been changed so that die and dieP are now implemented in terms of dieReport (:: ErrorReport -> m a). This involved changing less code than changing die to be of type ErrorReport -> m a. All that had to be changed directly was that Die instances now implement dieReport instead of die.
Any bits of code that "caught" errors has been changed so that it handles ErrorReport instead of String. This ErrorReport is eventually, in Main, passed to dieIO, which will soon be changed to read the file in and provide the context. Accordingly, MonadIO m has been added as a constraint to dieIO, and dieInternal has been changed to no longer use dieIO (because really we can't add the MonadIO constraint to dieInternal).
Various error messages have been changed. Notably, all instances of fail in ParseOccam have been changed to use die or, wherever possible, dieP. A similar thing has been done in EvalConstants and EvalLiterals.
