+Async IO Either
+===============
+
+This is a tiny package that captures an pattern I've been using a lot...
+
+Essentially I am tired of needing something of (IO a) and it so often coming with exceptions
+that are not indicated in the type. Generally speaking my application, like many others, is
+just going to throw in the towel when an exception occurs, but I would prefer it if a value was
+provided. This would then allow me to decide just what sort of tantrum my application will throw.
+
+I've tried to understand the different manners of handling exceptions in Haskell, and I'm sure there
+is a better or more fitting approach. But this is what I have for now.
