import qualified Control.Monad.TaggedException as E (liftT, throw)
import Data.Typeable (Typeable)


data NotReady = NotReady String
    deriving (Show, Typeable)
        -- Both required by Exception class

instance Exception NotReady

myFunction :: Input -> Throws NotReady IO Output
myFunction input = do

    -- ... some stuff ...

    -- isReady :: Input -> IO Bool
    ready <- E.liftT $ isReady input
    unless ready
        . E.throw $ NotReady "Resource of myFunction is not ready."

    -- ... some other stuff ...
