The Catchable.scala Scala example source code

package scalaz

////
/**
 * A context in which exceptions can be caught and thrown.
 *
 * This class places no other class constraints on `F`, but it should be the
 * case that exceptions raised via `fail` are caught by the nearest surrounding
 * `attempt` and returned as a `Left`. In addition to catching explicitly
 * raised exceptions via `fail`, we expect that `attempt` catch ambient
 * exceptions that might occur when 'evaluating' an `F`.
 *
 * We can state the requirement that `attempt` catch all ambient exceptions
 * by stipulating that for all total functions of the form
 * `g: forall A . F[Throwable \/ A] => B`, `g compose attempt` is also
 * total.
