This PR fixes the following limitations:

  • Some class instances from the base monad could not pass through SeldaT, ie. SeldaT b (StateT s IO) did not have a MonadState s instance,
  • SeldaT could only be used as outermost element in the transformer stack, ie. StateT s (SeldaT b IO) did not have a MonadSelda instance,
  • The use of onException made it unsafe to use a base monad that uses any form of short-circuiting that is not an exception, ie. ExceptT.

Fixing that last point requires using generalBracket introduced in exceptions-0.9, so I had to bump the dependency requirement. I am not sure how this impacts the range of GHC versions that can be supported.

Supporting ExceptT/MonadError is rather important for applications based on servant.
