I remember advocating heavily for the adoption of being part of a lot of the design discussions around this feature (Original blog post, the library as it is today), and I do not at all recall this being a thing anyone needed or wanted.\n\nannotated-exceptionworks today and on older GHCs and does not contain these warts nearly as much; but it is unfortunately limited for library development because it forces all consumers of your library to adopt `annotated-exception` and deal with the `AnnotatedException` wrapper. My next plan for the library is to figure out how to incorporate the new `ExceptionContext` changes without ruining the utility and UX of the library.",
