Turing Tarpit

I went back to my original compiler, and I was actually surprised at how good it is. At least, in theory, not in practice. There are a number of simple mistakes in the source, which are mostly attributable to writers block.

I've been looking at targeting GHC core, for no particular reason. It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. GHC core mostly seems to be desugared Haskell source, so if you're going to target anything, then you'll end up targeting the least of all moving targets, which is plain Haskell source code.

 Thing is... There is no native exception support in Haskell. So you'ld need to bypass common evaluation by either wrapping everything up in a Monad, or emitting continuations with continuations for exceptions and regular evaluation.

Maddening really, stuck in the Turing tarpit.
