# safe-0.3.21: Library of safe (exception free) functions

A library wrapping `Prelude`/`Data.List` functions that can throw exceptions, such as `head` and `!!`. Each unsafe function has up to four variants, e.g. with `tail`:

- `tail :: [a] -> [a]`, raises an error on `tail []`.
- `tailMay :: [a] -> Maybe [a]`, turns errors into `Nothing`.
- `tailDef :: [a] -> [a] -> [a]`, takes a default to return on errors.
- `tailNote :: String -> [a] -> [a]`, takes an extra argument which supplements the error message.
- `tailSafe :: [a] -> [a]`, returns some sensible default if possible, `[]` in the case of `tail`.

This package is divided into three modules:

- Safe contains safe variants of `Prelude` and `Data.List` functions.
- Safe.Foldable contains safe variants of `Foldable` functions.
- Safe.Exact creates crashing versions of functions like `zip` (errors if the lists are not equal) and `take` (errors if there are not enough elements), then wraps them to provide safe variants.
