Research direction
Start by locating the urlDecode implementation and its callers, then reproduce the two ghci examples from the issue. Check how malformed percent escapes are currently handled and whether existing tests cover them; done should mean invalid input no longer raises the shown exception and valid URLs retain their current decoding behavior.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
In ghci:
ghci > urlDecode "http://twitter.com/fred/statuses/200"
"http://twitter.com/fred/statuses/200"
ghci > urlDecode "http://twitter.com/%user_screen_name%/statuses/%id%"
"http://twitter.com/*** Exception: Char.digitToInt: not a digit 'u'
It would be vastly nicer if urlDecode's type was something like String -> Either String String.
