Thank you for referencing the issue, I couldn't find it anymore for some reason.

While the technicality of the "errors-as-values" proposal might delay the implementation of such a taxonomy, I think we could totally lay the groundwork and actually work on defining it first.

As a side note, the idea of making a taxonomy of errors with unique tagging has been brought up on ghc-proposals recently, although marked as out-of-scope (maybe rightly so):

The ease of searching is among the major motivations behind it.

    I wholeheartedly agree with this suggestion. Maybe we could even
    start a
    little taxonomy of errors by adding an error code
    to the message that would be more searchable? Something like E5032?
